bloody hell - that long! my mop was frozen to my blade this morning! in the bucket in the garage even with the snap on lid on the bucket and no water in it ....

[Matthew JN]

8 hours to fill 500 litre tank - well just under 500 as the float switch will shut it off.   As long as water isn't static it won't freeze.

Seen the forecast for next 2 weeks and this cold spell is over in a week.  As long as there is no heavy snow down here then i should be able to do 4 days this week as planned with cold water WFP.

Having said that i am ike many others now going to add a retro fit hot water system, thank god for mas break gives me time to fit it

Just so long as the float switch doesn't freeze-up.

Tank filled overnight,  did think of the float switch freezing up but checked it and it was fine.   Off out now.
