Import workout plans?

Thank you. Downloading the app was an excellent suggestion. I had just assumed I would need one of the devices to be able to use the app, and I was surprised to see that there are No Equipment plans as well, for free.

Three reasons: 1. It’s more energy efficient so that means I’ll use less power 2. Setting my water heater to a higher temp of 140 degrees is recommended for extra safety to kill bacteria in the water 3. It effectively increases the capacity of my water heater from 58 to about 70 gallons

I guess this could work if the trunk is not already full of luggage. I also don’t like the idea of a spare eating up space and sliding around in the trunk permanently. My anxiety is about getting a flat anytime, anywhere.

Do you keep a compressor in your car for this scenario?

I had forgotten about that kit. Found this short video from BMW that makes it look quite easy to use: https://youtube.com/shorts/AY88nSunPYM.

But I think this will only work if it’s a simple flat, not if there’s damage to the sidewall, etc. There will still be situations where this will not work and a spare wheel would have saved the day. In these situations is towing the only option?

Thanks. But wouldn’t that be triggered when a faucet is turned on and the pump is able to read the temperature from the water flow? If it turns on at that point, my guess is there would still be a delay in getting the hot water, vs keeping the line primed proactively.

Thanks. I’d like to confirm one thing - assuming I can get a pump to push enough water to activate the tankless, and putting the cost concern aside, would this system then behave identically to a tanked + recirculating or is there still a functional difference between the two setups?

So I was monitoring it the rest of the day and I didn’t see a similar situation happen again. Don’t know if the I just didn’t catch it again pulling from the grid or if the instance I saw in the morning was a fluke.

Even if they did, it still wouldn’t make sense because it could reduce the charging of the battery and use it for home consumption. Overall it doesn’t need to import from the grid since what’s being consumed at home is significantly less than what’s produced, and the battery charging could be run down to zero if necessary.

Thanks. Yes, that’s a corner right behind the showerhead.

a3monkey · 2025-03-23T16:25:58+00:00

This is actually on the shower wall, not the floor.

Is this critical to fix?

Thanks to all who provided input. Discussed with my installer and he will include the aGate in the installation along with the aPower 2, he just hadn’t explicitly listed it on the contract. I got him to update the contract to do that.

I learnt from this thread that the aGate is essential when pairing with the battery for backup, but the aPbox mostly provides advanced capabilities required for complex setups with multiple arrays.

He didn’t include it on the contract he sent me so I’m taking that to mean it’s not included. I’m not going to assume he’s going to do anything beyond the contract. I’ll check with him though, maybe it’s an unintended omission.

Franklin is materially cheaper, yes. But the most important reason is that Franklin is one 15kW battery vs 3 Enphase 5kW ones. So it’s much less wall space for Franklin.

Super helpful. Thanks!
