That should be quieter, did not check the dB (decibels) which obviously the manufacturers will quote the best figures. I believe there are different ways of measuring it This needs to be checked: 3400 Rated Watts. is that continuous or peak? In the blurb it says, maximum of 3400w of power but for how long? same question.

Unless you really have to move it then I would leave it where it is. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcr1m90gd#?fcTime=145316160 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcr1st9vg#?fcTime=1453248000 The two nearest places according to the Met office, it will be below freezing from about 6 o'clock tonight and not get above until about mid-day tomorrow, so any ice will not be melting-till late afternoon.

No, no , no you will go deaf with that running.

Oxford Canal Starts At: Lock 30, Grants Lock Ends At: Lock 30, Grants Lock Monday 18 January 2016 15:30 until Tuesday 19 January 2016 10:45 Type: Navigation Closure Reason: Repair Update on 19/01/2016: The underwater obstruction has now been removed and the navigation re-opened.

When it's ready. I expect they have a guide date but as with all of these things it will move. Debdale Wharf at Foxton will probably know. (It's their baby)

long walk from bedroom 2 to the bathroom. early morning sun but very little during rest of day.

I think it may have been a bit deeper, looks like the lock has been drained. Let's not be pedantic though Thoughts, for what they are worth, are with the owner.

Ah, yes but no but You are still using a percentage for each, charging the batteries (alternator load) engine (prop load), heating the calorifier and of course waste heat but that is disregarded for tax purposes.

Just how were you aware the customer was trying to cheat and how did you know the tank was supplying the propulsion engine.

That would be the 'base price', ie, non propulsion

65 p per litre from fuel boat two days ago.

Could be second faulty thermocouple or maybe the thermocouple is not correctly placed in the flame. I see WotEver just beat me whilst I was typing.

Although written 'Smokeless' it should be written Smokes less than ordinary coal. It will smoke when first lit but the visible smoke will reduce when fully alight .

Anyone you like, that you have a big enough supply for. How much do you want to spend and what are you expecting it to do. John Lewis

It's all relative, depends on battery SOC any other equipment being supplied, clouds in the sky etc. etc.

What Bizzard said also low heat fuel (wet wood) is not good for getting the flue warm/hot can also cause excessive 'goo and clinker' Sweep the flue, with a proper brush: example: http://www.ironmongeryonline.com/bailey-1846-universal-woodstock-brush-4in no connection just satisfied customer ps. I have the 1430 and only burn solid fuel, (Excel) no wood,

Simple answer: either but read this then decide http://www.smartgauge.co.uk/chargesize.html

but my one is the best one, it came directly from the designer for free.

I have reported many 'advertising' posts and had the same experience, nearly reported this one but thankfully Daniel had posted to say it had been approved.

I hate to butt in but are 'we' missing the fact of why and for what use the Smartgauge was designed. It was designed to be a simple aid for the non technical to know when and how long to charge the battery bank. It, in my opinion, does this very well. Now if you want the all singing technical model that is available.

Some confusion but post #6 from OP says 1Kwh per cycle, this would imply that even if the cycle was less than the one hour it still uses 1Kwh (total) This would be for just the one cycle different cycles of course would be different Kwh's Thinking about that, it takes in all the various loads etc during the cycle, ie, heating element.

Voltage with batteries at rest can be a guide to the SOC (State Of Charge) ie half full, half empty etc. but is not a guide to the capacity (amount of energy stored). You can get a 'high' but there is not much left in the tank. Example: my battery bank was 330 amp,hr when new but with age and use they now only have a much less capacity possibly about 80 amp.hrs, when I charge them the voltage will rise and the Smartgauge will say they are at 100% SOC after a few hours. I then use the batteries but they will only supply energy for a much shorter time than when they were new. So to summarise the batteries are full but only to the capacity they have. Used this before to give an idea: think of the battery like a bucket, you fill it and empty regularly with time the bottom fills with silt/gunge etc. you can still 'fill' it but it does not have as much capacity. If you regularly clean the bucket or fully charge the battery it will maintain a higher capacity for longer. ps. A start battery is not the best, to use for running the domestic side of a boat. You can wreck a new battery in days if it is not charged correctly, so do not buy a new one unless you plan to monitor and charge it correctly.

Batteries are 'shot' through lack of adequate charging.

Errr. typo I think, possibly meant boat side of the galvanic isolator.
