We have a mesh filter at the downspout, which keeps out most of the bigger stuff, but we still get very fine debris/muck that passes through and our first-flush system doesn't resolve this 100% either. We have a filter between the rainwater tanks and the house/water pump so the house's water...

Sounds like a good MO to me.

I don't know whether the inlet tube or diaphragm are having issues. I'm not sure I know what you're referring to with those terms, either. Isn't the diaphragm inside the air tank? That tank hasn't been much of a problem. And I think the pressure switch is OK. From what I can tell, the pump is...

Well it certainly wasn't "intermittent" when we had it here. The thing deviated further and further over the course of about one year, before our battery capacity was reduced to around 25% and we finally decided to buy a new MPPT, and unhook the bad one. Before swapping them out, we did...

I don't plan to ever have that charge controller come back to the house. If I hook it up again here and it works, it won't make me feel any better, because nothing has been done to fix the original problem. If it does act up again, then the manufacturer would just argue that the problem is with...

That actually does sound feasible to me. Do you have any firsthand experience with charge controllers working themselves out? Obviously the problem is a PITA, because the glitch will more than likely pop up again in the future.

Honestly I don't remember. I don't think it was the cable though.

What brand do you recommend? Here's our most recent update: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/can-an-mppt-fix-itself.81025/

TLDR: troubleshooted MPPT remotely with an engineer from this website last year. Conclusion: unit bad/miscalibrated, send to distributor for warranty replacement. Instead of doing this, I just bought a new unit and stuck the old one in a box for ten months. Recently, I sent the old unit to a...

I'm getting tired of this setup: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/what-is-this-setup-called.35716/ I went to change the filter for our rainwater tank yesterday and by swapping the old filter for the new one, we had to re calibrate the entire pressure switch. The simple act of swapping out a...

I already posted earlier in this thread regarding this. Bottom line: no satisfactory solution has been proposed that doesn't involve us going without power. Also there is mutual distrust amongst all parties. This could be resolved if there were some uncorruptable third party.

Actually, I looked up Peru's consumer protection laws on the books, and there are indeed articles against lies by omission. E.g. Promising warranty service, but then retroactively imposing/disclosing conditions on that warranty service only after receiving $15,000 from a customer.

I DON'T call BS on this post. Can't think of a good reason why anyone would make up something like this.

That's not me. My youtube channel is the same as my username on here. Mostly just videos about our reforestation project.
