carlejo - Baxi boiler - New Topic

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:51:12 +0000

I never got around to installing this as the Mrs wouldn't let me.It's a Baxi 60/100 boiler which basically means it's 60,000 - 100,000 Btu
It is mint condition(even though second hand), would cost approx �£600 new, complete with wall bracket and flue.With an appropriate heat exchanger and digistat this will easily heat a pond of several thousand gallon. Please understand I cannot/will not be able to post/package due to size. It is PICK UP ONLY from South Wales, although I could meet by Severn bridge area (if your coming from that direction), to save you the bridge fees.

I've checked with Baxi this morning(5-10-09) and the boiler is called a 'system 60/100'

It's a boiler only, not a combi and as previously menioned will easily heat a pond of several thousand gallons.

Ralph - RE: Emptying the K1 from an Eazy Pod

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:01:25 +0000

Steve,

I have at last accepted that I do have a leak on the smaller of my 2 ponds.

I am allowing the water to leak out, & marking everyday, on the waterline, where it is.

The next day, I am marking it again, so that when it remains consistent, I will know that the leak is somewhere between the 2 lines.

Then, I am going to leave things as they are until next Spring, having moved my koi into the larger pond or the GO tank.

In this way, I will not, for seveal months, be continually topping up my pond over & over again, thus cutting down on my bills.

The YWA have been very helpful, & have sent me a claim form to reduce the 95% sewerage charge.

Some of the details that they are asking for, re my daily useage, excluding the pond, are a little difficult, but I have been able to measure some of them.

I think that the best idea will be to refer them to my charges & useage, back in 2002, before I had the ponds, as things haven't changed on the domestic front since then.

Watch this space!!

crell - RE: Cessation of feeding ?

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:10:47 +0000

The benefits are for a better bodyshape to our fish, fish that have put on loads of weight through the summer get to lengthen instead of getting fatter during the fasting period. then when feeding starts up again we bulk our koi up to the perfect shape. Well this how i read what Alan was saying
and i have heard the same said by other very experianced koi keepers.
I'm sure others will have different theories but these are what i thought was being said please correct
me if anybody thinks I am wrong.

crell - RE: Window.

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:00:46 +0000

Ian, you need to buy the frame seperate from the glass no kit form I'm afraid.
You can either have a frame made to what ever size you want ie out of angle iron
or you can buy them a standard size off the shelf from some where like Richdon koi.
The glass you will have to purchase from a glazer obviously to fit the frame
and it needs to be double ply toughened and between 10 -20 mm thick although you
may get differing opinions on this subject.
Hope this is of some use to you.

Get a storage box from B&Q and tip them in to it if you can otherwise it is hand power to get it out. One time i clened mine out there was a load of c**** just inside the airring which would not loosen off. When cleaning now i help it along with a bamboo cane just to stir up the bottom to make sure it does not happen again

UV Units do not kill blanket weed only waterborn algi so i would recomend keeping it on
and they don't use alot of electric anyway so you won't be saving that much by turning it off.
