Wow, talk about a game changer. 25% soc @ 10.00hrs is now 26% soc % 14.25hrs. Must be the Enphase powerhouse doing the heavy lifting. :lol:

A few years back we had the upstairs bathroom in Turkey ripped out back to bare brick. Had a bigger hole knocked out the wall for larger window, natural light. 1mtr + single tiles, absolutely gorgeous. Recycled where I could (sink/pedestal, lights, cabinet. Worked out well, painted roof white, a LOT of natural light now bouncing about in there. I went high end minimal but blew it at the end.

How so? A standard shower head was chosen and fitted.

Bought a six quid large head and oochabeastie, fitted two days ago. What a difference! Small things matter! :lol: Worth a look?

Ordered one of these yesterday open box for £170 X-125 to replace the unit left at daughterlys in Edinburgh. Will report back on noise etc and see a true running load.

Daughterlys now a dehumidifier convert!

Nice to come back in the door and fire up the WBS. That's it pretty much on until Spring. The storage brick jacket will remain hot until then. :twisted:

This wee Avalla x125 unit is excellent. Quieter than my other two units, decent controls, unobtrusive. Worth a look if you are in the market or thinking black Friday deal maybe?

I like the sliding humidity sensor setting in %.

This one cost me £170, open box deal via Amazon, sent direct from Avalla.
