Yes, you find the closest latest replacement even if it is now 10x the original price you paid. It counts for everything in your house...what will you have to pay today to buy all of that stuff again new. There will also be items that are cheaper now than what you paid for it.

Lightning and power surge are different perils and looked at differently on all policies in SA. Generally lighting cover is full cover to the limit of the contents sum insured or buildings sum insured depending on what you claim for. In cases I would think it is difficult to know which...

A quick easy solution is this: CBI Astute - You will require wi-fi, at least for the set up, but it helps to have it permanently connected as you can switch it on and off remotely if needed. I am using it on my geyser and pool pump

I also have the 8kW Sunsynk and can run in excess of 8kW for quite a bit...it has never shut down on me. It first takes from PV, then battery and the balance above 8kW comes from the grid. Obviously if the settings is not to discharge then the balance above the PV will come from grid.

He suggest the systems and procure the components. He is registered with most suppliers as I have it. He also then offers remote support for a period of time in terms of settings and checking if the system runs optimally.

I have sent you the detail of the installer that did our installation

I have the Sunsynk 8kW and can confirm that it can handle more than 8kW which is blended with grid. If the grid is off and you exceed the 8kW it will trip. In the graph above the load is catered for as follows: Grid - 1.67kW PV - 6.02kW Battery - 1.88kW Between the PV and the battery, the...

I have the IDS and also got the error after the first fail. I just ignore it at this stage. We had a power outage yesterday that lasted just over 6 hours and I never got the "battery low" alert. It seems to charge and work albeit with the error. Any ideas whether I should not continue to...

From an IPA perspective, the good ones for me are: Giant IPA - Aegir Any of the Soul Barrel IPA's AGAR - Tomahawk and Warrior Jungle Paradise - Afro Most of the RHBC IPA's (mostly limited batches, but ongoing - Stay Present is the current one) Urban Legend - Mad Giant Haven't had one in years...

Nilam just confirmed that it is badly damaged and he believes it could be lightning. The question now is what is a comparable replacement for the PV900 in order for me to establish price if I were to claim through insurance

Thanks!

It is a Boston VR900

So it seems that my sub is dead for more than just a blown fuse. Any recommendations where I can take the sub to for someone to have a look?  I am in the West Rand, but any decent repairers in the Jhb area would be good.

Is it the Paint Emporium and Hardware you are referring to?  It is the one I am getting when Googling

Thanks.  I couldn't see anything on Mantech and Communica's websites for this specific fuse.  Will try Tecsa as it is also closer for me

Thanks guys, yes it is "v" T 2.5A L 250v is the full description I will give Tecsa a go

I noticed my sub was dead tonight and would like to replace the fuse as a first step.  I Googled, but could not get any supplier of this 2.5A 250w fuse.  Thought the DIYers might be able to point me in the right direction. Any ideas where I can go look for this fuse?

Seems like a common issue.  I had the 7005 and the hdmi board went and were replaced within warranty and then again some time later but then it could not be replaced as there were no longer stock for that part available.

Although I wasn't witness to what transpired, based on what I saw I agree with BJ.  No need to make changes for an isolated incident.  You only start looking at changes when there is a trend.  In the meantime anything like this can be handled as an isolated incident (until a trend develops). ...

Thanks for the feedback.  I like your suggestions!
