Here are the instructions.

Thanks all. I’ll try the square D option. I don’t want to fork out for a new pump. Mike, I get your point and will leave well alone.

Thank you. I understand that. I’m just wondering if , say a 4.5 bar prv would help. It’s a sure-cal calorifier and I’m not sure of the pressure it could manage safely. The old pump was near to useless. No flow and low pressure. Thought I’d upgrade.

Good morning. I recently fitted a new pump. It is more powerful than the old one. 5 gpm. It’s got an intermittent fault at the pressure switch end but I can get over it temporarily by wedging the connection. The trouble is that the prv keeps letting by and I loose all the hot water. It’s a 3 bar prv. The pressure vessel needs to be charged at 45 psi. Is there an issue here or could the prv be uprated. Thanks. Steve P.

You may have a point.

I’ve fitted the inverter as per the manual. When I switch it on the lights flash and then nothing happens. Any ideas?

Ok. Thanks. The inverter came out of a lorry. Might explain it.

Apart from my drive plate giving up on holiday a few weeks ago, my inverter decided to take up smoking. I’ve got a replacement Victron 12-1600 Phoenix compact. It says in the manual that the chassis must be connected to the hull. The old Mastervolt wasn’t. What shall I do please.

I would prefer 1500 rpm. I have done quite a lot of research on this. I just wanted to know what other boaters experiences were. Most of the smaller ones seem to be 3000rpm.

I did look at this a while ago. I really wanted to know what other boaters could recommend. I also looked at dc gensets but don’t know the pros and cons. Bit too big. Probably could get away with 3-4 kva but I know my one does the job.

I don’t think I’d need to run them at the same time. I’ve not needed to do it yet.

Just thinking that 5-6.5 kva does my existing requirements. I like a bit of redundancy.

I expect it to be expensive. I probably would go like for like, 5+ kva. The lister coped ok, washing machine, charger and calorifier.

I’ve got a 6.5 kva lister diesel generator on my boat. It’s got me out of trouble so many times I wouldn’t be without it. Trouble is it’s very very noisy. I’m starting to spec a new narrowboat and wondered if anyone can recommend a quieter more modern one. Thanks in advance.

I changed the filter last week. I’ve got no idea where the prv is. I’ll try and find a manual. Thank you.
