This is a great site for house building in general, I love it,…

Having two controllers in a 2 storey house is a great idea. Heat rises so a reading upstairs is definitely good to have.
How does the ESP/ESP+ know what temp is…

Hi P_D,
I don't actually have an Ultima so I'm not able to explore all the intricacies (I have an engineering background, so knowing me I would definitely have dug deeper...)
but…

Cheers.

Hi,

I've been…

I might be missing something here but I'm not sure why you want the shinny side facing out, it's designed to point inwards and away from the sun . I…

Oops, I meant to post this at the tank forum, too many open screen ....
Anyway, yes, that makes sense ... thanks it gives me something to chase.

Sorry I don't have the specs on me, but with an ERR of about 3.3 my 19kW could burn as much as 5.9kW (19/3.3) if it needs to run flat…

Oops I should clarify the gunk is fine grained soil and dirt, there are no leaves in the gutters - it's a new two storey house and there aren't any…

Hi,
We have a new house with a bluescope water tank, it has a bag type filter and often so much gunk collects on the bag that hardly any water can…

I hired a rotary hoe to cultivate the old soil, mixed in some new soil hoed that in and then added about 50-100mm on top to help me get "perfect"…

Should I start the seasol / powerfeed…

Hi guys,
I lugged the rolls, my wife insisted on unrolling them and allegedly butted them up against each other ... day 1, Saturday - it all looked great.
But then…

Get a MEPS compliant model. When I liked some makers, even usually good ones like Fujitsu were behind the times. Not as efficient as say, ActronAir.
Make sure you ask for…

Hi guys, thanks again for the replies I received before starting this.
I spayed Glypho 360 (RoundUp) 5 weeks ago, the kik looks very dead.
Question 1)
Some weeds did survive, they look…

I would personally avoid litigation, it's too much stress and hassle, it's the last recourse. Meantime, I'd appeal to the builder - can you cry on demand? that'll help. I'm…

I have Daikin ducted at work - I like it a lot.
I have Actron ESP+ at home - I like it even more.

By all means get a quote from the builder.

In my case yes the round grills upstairs and square ones downstairs…

But my home office / play room has insulation on all walls and ceiling, I've got computer gear in…

Hi, the prices seem OK to me. That's the easy bit.
But the sizing baffles me, they're quoting on a 24kW, 15kW and 19kW. I mean there's a big difference between…
