installing the immersion heater
In a wild fit of engineering enthusiasm, I realised that our surplus energy could be harnessed into hot water. However, as we use an on-demand gas boiler for that, it meant a capital investment in an immersion tank, and the ability to switch between the 2 systems
A pressure reducer was soon fitted as we at 6 bar, which is fine, but the tank then dribbles water away as it heats up. The reducer, down to 3 bar, means the tank no longer wastes water in expansion.
