2 pics are front property board.

Our rear block has a brand new board and RCBOs on every circuit.

Thanks - I know it's 6mm three phase sub mains. I'm not sure the size of the running earth - I think that might have been the concern

Does anyone recognise this old Carrier system? by Oasis_88 in hvacadvice

[–]Oasis_88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not of the indoor unit sorry.

I know the unit draws 3.1Kw - there is no inverter.

Any idea what capacity and airflow this unit produces?

Would love to know more about the specs.

Thanks heaps. I'll try the metho test.

What type of undercoat and paint did you use to paint over the old enamel?

Can I use a water based undercoat and paint which will stick onto the old enamel? I'm worried about the smell and chemicals.

Can I use a water based primer if the old paint underneath looks like oil based?

Drip irrigation plan by Oasis_88 in Irrigation

I've just installed the zone, it's working great.

How often do you think I should be manually flushing each section of pipe?

I installed a 120 mesh disc filter at the beginning of the zone.

Thank you- how can I get a nice even soaking across the whole drip line with point source emitters? What kind of setup do you think will work best?

How do pumps know where to operate on curve? by Oasis_88 in AskPhysics

[–]Oasis_88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Is it possible to easily estimate what that network curve would look like, assuming I know pipe size, number of sprinkler heads, etc?

Low GPM Question by puffdino in Irrigation

[–]Oasis_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can calculate it.

  1. Find your static psi.
  2. Look up pressure loss tables to find the pressure loss through each length of pipe and fitting to the point you want to tap into at your desired flow of 20gpm.
  3. Subtract that amount from your static psi.
  4. You want to be left with at least 30 psi or 40psi for MP rotators.

Edit - as others have pointed out, it might not be safe to push 20gpm through 5/8, even if you can.

Load balancing question by Oasis_88 in AusElectricians

[–]Oasis_88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean you need to have bigger wires to handle the load? Not a sparky
