If you can get the sensor close enough to the tank you probably wouldn't need to turn a tap on, copper is a good conductor. It could equally be a pipe going into tge tank. You might somehow have to ... | ||

@jamespa we are classic empty nesters. Most of the time, 200l would be fine, but when children and grandchildren come to stay we might need more. One Christmas, there were 16 of us sleeping in the h... | ||

@hcas thanks for the suggestion. The other tank has a sensor 2/3 of the way down, like it’s twin. I could use that, although I would not know how to connect it into the controller. | ||

RE: Balancing financial efficiency and comfort using the Octopus Cosy tariff
By Judith, 2 weeks ago |
|
We’re high energy users other than the ashp so the OVO tariff wouldn’t work for us, so cosy was the next best. We averaged 17p per kWh using a 9.5kWh battery to get our 7kW ashp through peak hours. I ... | ||
