  • Post in thread: Why not use a vevor submersible pump?

    My first suggestion would be to listen to people who actually own a Vevor water pump. A "people" like me, albeit not the well-bottom pump, but a Vevor pump none-the-less. :) It depends what you are using it for. Our 400-ft well was contaminated with Iron-bacteria by a local well "expert" when...
  • Post in thread: Dipping a toe in the water -- low volume purchase of panels?

    Thanks, had not thought of Craig's. We ARE in the US but this forum always gives me a fake location. Last time I posted it was somewhere in the Caribbean -- I think. For this test I think I will just order from A again. I'll watch Craig's for a while first though. Thanks for the tip. As for...
  • Post in thread: Small basic system? how would you do this?

    Just did a similar kind of thing at home. Tired of the regular outages (on-grid out in the boonies) I bought 3 Anker Solix C1000 - 1056wH. Critical (Internet, video streaming etc) stuff and extension leads. They stay plugged in to mains. Get one of these and take it with you (it has handles...

    [SOLVED} our outage-fix another way. I amalgamated all the things we require in an outage down to 3-sections. That came down to 3-separate points with short extension leads with multiple connectors on the end. I bought 3 Anker C1000 and now have them all hooked us as very big USP...

    Out in the boonies -- but on the grid such as it is. Outages are increasing in duration and frequency. Pondering building one of the "on a hand-truck" things and charge from the grid on overnight rates. We would manually switchover about 4 circuits with a Vevor 6-circuit box (or suggestions...

    No idea why it shows Turks & Caicos Islands. I don't even know where that might be. But the US split 120/240 is what we have.

    :) -- Thanks, we have a plug in 120v induction and it was so loved, I was instructed to tear out cupboards put in the full bench cook-top induction solution. Only an angry Leopard would foolishly dare broach the subject of going back to the single cook-top with the cook. As I, a mere mortal...

    Thanks, I will press ahead with research on those suggestions.
  • Post in thread: kinda small diy-powerwall

    Thanks for the detailed reply, I have been instructed that the 240vac is non-negotiable. ;) As a rank newbie to solar equipment (not so electrical/electronics) and avid watcher of Will's videos, there is much to learn. The more specifics offered in replies makes that task easier when I have...
  • Post in thread: Dipping a toe in the water -- low volume purchase of panels?

    I recently bought 3 x Anker Solix C1000 for our home theater (and other essentials) to thwart the local grid rolling outages. At that time, I assured myself I would recharge from the grid as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and I would not do the following, but, I just bought a 100W panel...
