  1. Sounds like not much water in the storage tank and if that is the case a pump would be of little benefit. What would be of benefit would be to have a forceful word or two with the condo owner and tell him to do his job.
  2. i guess there is a main valve somewhere which allows you to turn off the incoming water supply. if you haven't done so already, make sure it is fully open. It could be a flow problem rather than a pressure problem. A way to check this would be to turn on a tap and then block the output with your thumb. If, when you remove your thumb, the water gushes out briefly then you have plenty of pressure.
  3. Yes you certainly do. The OP needs to instal something like a 200 litre tank then use a pressure pump to supply his faucets from it.
  4. His agenda is not quite right is it. It seems this expert is promoting drinking ad. lib. without concerns for public safety. Alcohol is a poison yet here we are with a public health specialist promoting its potential increase in consumption. I could understand if it was one or two of the breweries calling for relaxation of alcohol sales hours but surely not a public health specialist. By the way. I also enjoy a drink occasionally.
  5. Public hospitals are just as good as private hospitals. I would recommend attending the "after hours" evening consultations to avoid the crowds. They are not free but they are certainly not expensive. All normal hospital equipment is available and any required testing is immediate.
  6. Quite so. If you have a big battery in parallel with a small battery of the same voltage, The small battery will become discharge sooner than the big one and unless they are isolated from each other with a huge diode the big battery will spend some of its energy maintaining the charge in the small battery. Since you say your batteries are full by lunchtime I'm guessing that has always been the case so your batteries are not capacity challenged except that they are struggling with your load. Option 1. Turn off/down air con. Option 2. Turn off wife and get more batteries.
  7. It may not be so simple although I hope it is. There may also be a need to increase charging capabilities too and whilst your about it have a look at whether or not the batteries are getting fully charged. Another thought has occured to me, as they accassionaly do. Last year the batteries presumably handled their loading OK but this year they don't I would be inclined to check installed battery capacities first.
  8. Welcome to Liverpool Lou's shoe repair emporium. Get your Cenelec approved safety flip flops here.......🙂
  9. Your asking about something called an ATS (automatic transfer switch) These are readily available on internet shopping sites. https://www.feeo-solar.com/uploads/20189088/2p-automatic-transfer-switch-ats30403028864.jpg
  10. Thanks for the corrections. Regardless of how he does it Trump wants these countries to be part of 'his' greater (in his mind) America. Tomorrow the world. I think I've heard this before somewhere.
  11. It's a presidential thing. He wants to buy Greenland, Canada and Panama to say nothing of Ukraine's resources and Russia's for that matter. Why not Afganistan too?
  12. "During the Woodland Town Council meeting, one local man, Bobby Mann, said solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not go to Woodland, the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald reported. Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing. Ms Mann said she had seen areas near solar panels where plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight. She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer." The average IQ in North Carolina is reported to be 100.2. I have serious doubts about that
  13. Don't forget to set up your direct link to air traffic control at Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang airports.
  14. Around where I live, traffic tends to use the left lane except when overtaking. The fast, racing types, are granted free access to the right hand lane It is not so often that slow trucks use the right hand lane. The most noticeable examples of bad driving are the corner cutters. It's almost as though the driver sees a straight line from A - B regardless of the right hand bend/turn. As many have said. There is absolutely minimal notice taken of the rules of the road.
  15. Blue PVC pipes (and other colours too) are neither glued nor cemented together. They are welded using a PVC solvent. If the joint has been done properly, it is virtually impossible to take it apart. As has been said. Get new pipes, joints and fittings. They are dirt cheap and very easy to fit.
  16. I wouldn't have bothered with sine language. Clamp everything in position. Mark where welding/cuts are needed then go for it with angle grinder and welder.
  17. Another way to resolve the triangle which wasn't bourne with a right angle, is to make lots of right angles by drawing lines perpendicular to each side and bisecting the angle opposite. The, if you want you can sort out all the other bits https://uploads-cdn.omnicalculator.com/images/height-freeform.png I also remember my old school report. The two things which stood out most were; Could have done better A good listener The first bullet point was a straight forward cut'n paste at pretty well every opportunity. The second strange remark was from the music master. He didn't like brass bands and I just happened to be principle soloist in the national and local schools and youth brass bands at the time.
  18. Made in china Mango stuffed chicken for dinner?
  19. Aah. Yes. The memories come flooding back.....SOH - CAH - TOA and all that.
  20. That should anchor it well enough. Not so exciting but definitely safe. Looking very professional. Will you be mounting your panels directly onto the steelwork or are you going to fit roofing sheets also?
  21. Absolutely but..... "Warnings were issued about the risk of overheating, which can lead to fires and harmful smoke emissions." I would have expected to see the house burnt to the ground in the case of a lithium battery thermal runaway. The house has had a wall blown out by an explosion. It is conceivable that the batteries got hot and caused a gas explosion, in which case there is a good case for closing down companies which need to issue danger warnings with their badly designed goods.
  22. Why not add the existence of a gas supply. Focusing on solar and batteries is misleading
