if my 30 tube set-up is anything to go by I wouldn't get in to one mid-summer, but I might drop some wrapped-up food in for cooking!
Our DHW cylinder gets dangerously hot, but I suppose a pool might only get to "just uncomfortable!"

30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,

Lol @ 'elsewhere...'! ;)

Yeah, been busy. Now I'm retired from whatever it was I used to do, i'm rushed off me blimmin' trotters doing whatever it is I do now...

Speccy Bloke lives in Novia Scotia now - flip knows why. Gravy Miner lives in a mine (actually true..) up the valley from me in devon. See him sometimes - top bloke!

Glad some of you numpties are still around messing with alternatives!

Luv Frot.

Aye aye!
The lard powered vw moovan got too tin - wormy and went to another owner as a project. Current Frot mobile is a cow-painted suzuki carry tiny van. Mini Moo! 👍
