Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice.
Just bought a boiling water tap, with a max kw rating of 1.5.
We already have a waste disposal under the sink which we use after most meals which is around 13 years old, but have found a link for it which i have posted below. 0.55kw it says it is...
Hello,
Carrying out remedial work on a commercial site and I've come across a metal out building that has a water supply to it. The water pipe comes out of the ground behind the building in copper but enters the building in plastic. There is conduit on the outside of the building next to the...
Hi, would would be your thoughts on this one?
On the floor under the sink in my kitchen is a power cord that connects the small undersink water heater to the outlet.
It's the heater's power cord connected to a simple extension cord. The coupling of the extension cord lies directly on the tiles...
I have a 4.8kw solar diverter with 2 x 4.8kw hot water systems. Is there a switch that will only heat one hot water system at a time and switch over? So basically, 1 x 4.8kw line that goes to two hot water systems that only heats one at a time and switches over to the next one when one is done...
Hi everyone,
I need some help with an electrical issue I'm experiencing. I recently created a new circuit for an electric oven at my friend's place, and when I returned home, my friend called to say that the two water pipes connected to the boiler were smoking.
When I arrived, I first measured...
Hello everyone.
Kenmore undercounter freezer - Model KIF60W4
After smelling something funky, I inspected behind my freezer and discovered rust and signs of a leak above the compressor. I've attached some photos.
To me it looks like a serious fault and I'm swaying towards binning the freezer...
I've been asked to provide hot water in a small kitchen, no room for a storage tank, any recommendations on under sink heaters? The largest demand will be a pot wash sink so it needs to be hot and reasonably quick.
I'm installing a Rheem Retex-27 27kw electric water heater. While it's not required by the code where I am, I'd like to have a disconnect switch for it. It requires 3 40A double-pole breakers with obviously 2 wires for 240V coming from each, so total 6 gauge 8 wires plus ground coming to the...
Dear Forum,
I recently joined this forum, and writing for the first time. I like DIY activities, both for hobbies both to fix and repair stuff in my house, but my knowledge into electrical field are very limited.
Here the problem:
I am doing a system for the recycle of rain water. Briefly, the...
how extensive should an EICR be following minor water damage to a small part of a domestic installation, water came through one pendant in upstairs bedroom , no other circuits affected?
Hello, you all helped me out recently when we had a water leak (mostly in kitchen ceiling), and my landlord's contractor was saying the household circuits couldn't even be tested for 28 days after the leak due to a "28 day rule". Thank you so much for educating me about that! Here is the...
Hello wise electricians of the world! I am in the UK. Recently we had a water leak which caused some damage in our home, we are currently trying to dry everything out. The water certainly affected at least some electrical circuits (e.g. water was coming through kitchen ceiling spot lights.)
My...
Hi all,
I've come back from a 5 day holiday to no hot water, and the Horstman Electronic 7 controller on (LCD display working) but the neon indicator does not turn on during off-peak hours or when the boost button is pressed.
It's looking like it's going to be a couple weeks until I'm able to...
I've been having problems with a hot water circulation system. It worked last winter and is connected to a wall mounted thermostat for radiant heating. When I multimeter the switching relay I don't have low voltage across the wires that connect to the thermostat (T and T when checked against...
Someone wants me to put a water heater(30 amps), range(40-50 amps) and dryer(30 amps) all on a single 60 amp circuit. I said that's a bad idea.
They have a 100 amp main panel and all these devices would total 100 amps minimum. I am hesitant to run all these off the 100 amp service even with...
We have a tribune water cyclinder powered by an old version of the horstmann electronic 7.
We haven’t had hot water for a day or so now and wondering what I can do?
There are 2 electrical inputs to the cyclinder and the lights on the socket are usually off. I pressed boost and I saw one of...
I’m designing a light fixture for underwater lights and everything was going great until I checked for any current leakage. All I have is a multimeter but my meter is reading 90 vac when lights are powered.
The bulbs are being supplied with around 120 to 135v and the reading I get from the water...
I currently rent a flat, which uses an OSO hotwater boiler to heat the water but it seems there is an issue heating the water and I thought to ask here in case anyone would have an answer before I ask my landlady to call an electrician.
Attached is an image of the boiler on Pic1 and on Pic2 is...
I've installed a Mira SE shower. My query.
The instructions indicate a vertical rising or a falling pipe connection. I connected in a horizontal direction.
As the shower connector swivels I can't see a reason to have it only in a rising or falling type connection position, except in the...
