I have to say, the solar panels and hot water tank on the roof work really well - we get 'free' hot water 10 months of the year... Cold tank and pump not so much... I heard "Free"..........

Ah the wonders of living in a country where solar heating stands a chanceWe're thinking of installing a water pump, not for solar and not for drinking water (we actually have to reduce the pressure on that) but unpumped hot water pressure is becoming an issue in the UK as a tank header height (and ours is on stilts in the loft) isn't enough to get a decent flow through modern fancy looking taps. And guess what we bought when we had every bathroom redone Ah, 'champagne' taps... We have the same in the house but pumped is standard here as I said... serious question: if there's a power cut does the water still flow (albeit slowly)?If the tanks are on the roof then yes... So it works here at the apartment... At the house no, as the cold tanks are on the ground floor. I've been meaning to fit a 'bypass' so that the mains pressure ('bout 5 bar) feeds the hot and cold if the power fails but you know how it is...

Not urgent is it
A day of trying to avoid rain showers is likely
So this morning was up ...Awaits TMJs....for Quacks ...BUT normally believe it or not I am not an early-bird.... The tour reps started calling us at 7.30.... I am tempted to do what I did before some years ago.....Called them all when I finished their gigs at 1am ........... That stopped them .... (until now ..)..
