hi all,
dont matter what the didistat set to, all that does is put heat on/heat off signal. you should get a constant temp to your h exchanger. think you are right though, think i'm getting to much heat loss from boiler to heat exchanger.
thanks for the replies

Hi all, was wondering what sort of temp you should expect from the return from the heat exchanger to the pond. only asking because just tested mine, comming from the xchager to the pond is only 1 degree higher than the actual pond itself.....is this right? (pond at 14, heat exchanger return 15). the...

Hi all, was wondering on your thoughts about gas or oil fired boilers? what do you think is cheaper, i know you have the problem of siting the oil tank but the actual cost of running an oil fired boiler compared to a gas fired fired boiler is it any cheaper, i think oil is at 46ppl at the moment but...

Hi all was wondering how to seal between my dpc and the concrete base. for some strange reason i have water getting between the dpc and the uneven surface of the base. Any recommendations on how to seal it? there is islso 5 foot of block ontop of the concreter which i thought would have sealed it bu...

Hi,
would say it would work fine as your mechanical filtration but as the bio stage im not so sure. if you is on a tight budget why not fork out for a fluid bed filter to go after the pod, think you can get them for around 70 squid plus they have a very small footprint also

Hi Koine, I only started in october last year and my pond was 12'x12'x a stepped bottom of 2,3 and 4 foot which had a buytl liner. The liner and the underlay came to around £450 i think. Im now on my second pond build (and hopefully last) which is also going to be block built and rendered. Are you g...
