I'm correctly insured and the chemical is transported and used correctly. The only issue here is the safe connection of the heating element to 240v.
The way I conduct my business isn't really the issue here.
The best solution appears to be 16A all round.
I will consult an electrician, and...
For what it's worth I'm 100% receptive to doing the 'right thing'. Just not entirely sure what the right thing is!
It's my business and it needs to work safely and efficiently every time. So will welcome workable solutions.
At present I feel like I could call out three electricians and all...
Yeah. Think that's always going to be an issue (customer's houses). I did consider fitting a split charge system (similar to the one on my camper) which powered a 12V heater for when I'm between jobs.
Although if everything's 13A and is only connected for a short time is it 'really' an issue...
That's a good point. Usually I plug it in at home and turn it on for an hour before I leave. It general stays hot enough all day - so I don't need to plug it in.
But on occasion I do plug it in at customer's houses via my extension lead and have never had a problem. Although as the tank is...
With the socket turned off (I.e the wifi adaptor off) it shows no N. With it turned on it's all normal. I presumed it's how it works to keep the wifi signal active?
Fair point. Main problem it actually finding one who will come and look at the job. Have been let down consistently by tradesmen of all descriptions countless times over the last couple of years. I'm always courteous, and expect to pay what the job costs - but it seems that most sparkies have...
So how to I safely get power to the immersion? Need to be able to connect and disconnect via plug as it's in a van!
The other chap who I do this with has a less manly flex and although his gets hot, it's not meeting hot.
I bought the immersion - to which I connected the flex and plug. Bought the extension (the highest rated one they did in Homebase) and the wifi thing from Maplin's.
