netab32 is actually the 3 initials of my name N.E.T., and 2 of hubbys A.B.... the 32 is how old I was when I first started needing a username and have used it ever since (even though Im 'slightly' older than that now )... so there you go - now you know it all

While we are talking about me... check out the wedding cake my mum-in-law and I made...

Thanks BEN

Very nice cake though its probably against the law to take another husband netab

What the bloody ell are you talkin about Z?

One is enough... dont wish another one on me PLEASE!...

Got some plans in the pipeline for a header tank so we can hook up a spa heater in-line to circulate through the FTs overnight for winter... that way we can turn off the GBs at night and stop them wasting the heat we can hopefully generate.

The header was originally considered as when we have been turning off the system at night, the tanks are full, but when we switch them on in the morning, the FTs drop to almost half capacity - guessing we are cycling 2000L in the system during the day... so thinking if we can keep the FTs full during the day, when we switch them off we need somewhere to store the excess water... and if we are going to use that to keep cycling the water through to the FTs at night... we may as well see if we can heat it too!

Considering a stainless steel boiler set-up over a cob oven contraption eventually so that we can heat water and cook at the same time... but this year might see what we can do with the spa heater and a couple of the IBCs - and LOTS of insulation!

what do you think guys?... thoughts welcome

A spa heater will probley have copper in it and thats a no no

Have looked at it F&F and its all stainless as far as we can tell.
