I have a face-lift pump I need to recalibrate, but as I go through the process it sticks on auto and won't allow me to set it.
Today the pump wouldn't stop at all , the pressure switch wasn't kicking in.
The pressure built up so high that 2 pole hoses burst
1st time I've had it happen to me 🤔
Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is my battery situation at the end of day today.

We have done 17 miles from the start of the day at home till the end of the day at home. We moved the van once during our working day - I wouldn't say it was more than 200 meters.

My digital system is now set up, no more paperwork, completely paperless now.

All receipts, invoices and Statements are now stored digital on my cloud.   

All I need to do now is decide on by Bridging Software to submit quarterly figures when the time comes.  I've already worked out which software to use, but I wouldn't be surprised if more options become available in 2026. 

I won't need the software until 2027, but I am now all set up ready to report, record, link and transfer those figures they want quartlity to the bridging software. .....Might as well get into the habit of going 100%  digital now rather than last minute panic.

Cleaner planner already has all the data needed for quarterly reporting as I update my app/main site every single day. I also keep all paper receipts for my business expenses in a plastic folder for that tax year and have done for years now.

The only difference when MTD comes into force is that I need government approved software to input figures(turnover,expenses,profit for that quarter)which is easily available in cleaner planner.

You don't need to have digital records of every expense!As long as you have proof (whether its digital or paper) is all you need and that's only if you have a tax investigation!

Engine running with Sterling B2B charger switched on this morning. I'll switch it back off today, as I will let my battery drop to about a 30% state of charge before switching it back on.

Thanks spruce ,

Maximum draw of my aquatec is either 7 or 9 amps , hard to find accurate info .

I will go for the 150ah I think 👍

Probably a good decision. The thing is that Splash and Dash also has a couple of electric reels and two operators on his van. So a bigger battery will be more than ample for you. He doesn't have a battery with a heat blanket, so in winter his battery charging has to be done when he gets home as is van and battery are still warm. I do the majority of my battery charging with my van's alternator. This means that I get very little battery charge in the winter morning commute as my battery is below 5 degrees and that initial charge is going into warming the battery up. 

When I purchased my Sterling B2B charger, I also purchased a Victron Battery monitor. I used that live data to understand which equipment was drawing what current.

(I purchased the Sterling unit as I believed the sales hype that this would charge my leisure battery up to 5 times faster that an ordinary Durite 140 amp clone split charge relay. It didn't make any noticeable difference. A leisure battery has a high internal resistance. The fuller the state of charge, the higher the resistance. Because of this increasing resistance with the increasing state of charge, the battery accepts less and less charge. I found a 110 amp leisure battery would only accept a charge of 2 amps with a 95% state of charge.)

I also found that the same pump and controller used less current pumping water through 100 meters of minibore when compared to the same pump and controller pumping water through 100 meters of microbore.

The pumps also draw a little less current when the diesel heater is working and the water is hot, but this is more difficult to put a figure on.
