Really I'm with them they always have seemed very strict about WFP setups when I've spoke to them in the past,they told me unless it's bolted down they don't want to know and this was last year they said hey wouldn't insure anything with ratchet straps.

I thought A-plan were just brokers.
Out of curiosity what's the name of the actual company you are insured with on your insurance policy doc's NWH?

[NWH]

I'll check later I was going to get a new van so I thought for the time being I'd strap a tank down so I could get started quicker with the new van they said if I do that I won't be insured,I said I know loads of WCs that do this and they are insured he went on to explain they wernt or won't be if they have a claim. I'm not proclaiming to know this is what he told me and he read out a short list of companies that insure for our job the list was short,he reckons there are dozens that don't declare a strapped down tank or do an online application and don't include a tank for WFP that's why they get the insurance.

First full day with the immersion tank today -very pleased. No insulation around the tank and admittedly the air temperature is still pretty high. Started at 30 degrees water temp and still warm when I packed up.
2KW is a bit underpowered for 650l but looking foward to the cold days.
5.5 hours - about £1.50 I think.

[Smudger]

i dont insulate our tanks they stay warm all day long even close to freezing but we do start warmer at 37 to 40 degrees

16amp?

[Og]

I suppose you're killing two birds with one stone, stopping anything freezing overnight and warm water for cleaning.

[Dave Willis]

13 amp fused plug but I have Arctic flex to the element and 20a connectors, because I had some knocking about the garage. 2KW isn't that high a draw on current so should be much safer than normal immersion elements which are 3KW.

[dazmond]

L5 or L10?

ive used both and i much prefer the L10 matt.ive had no pressure problems with the L10.

[Tosh]

Daz, would you say the L10 is better constructed, more robust, than the L5 or are  they both the same in that dept?

[dazmond]

its bigger,more robust and it handles the water on full flow much better matt.yes.

How are you getting on with the 2kw immersion Dave?

[Dave Willis]

Lovin it. 30degrees and stays warm all day. Added an hour on the timer tonight so see if it gets any warmer tomorrow. Can easy fit a 3kw at a later date with the flange screwed in the tank but would need to do a proper wiring job to take the load.
Good old Chumbucket!

[DaveG]

Thanks Dave. How long do you have it on for?

[Dave Willis]

3am till 8

[slap bash]

Im thinking of going down same route. This sounds good and since my tank is insulated n only 500ltr. This sounds great and easy to install. Where did you end up getting the 2kw heater n flange nut from?
