[dazmond]

I like the fact your pump is on the outside of the cabinet.much easier to replace than mine!

 

[dazmond]

Here's mine

Mines all inside the cabinet with batteries down the right hand side of my van

I would of at least a few quid and sorted your flooring out. Looks like a builder has been let loose in there.
A rust trap waiting to rot

What battery chargers do you guys use for your systems looking to upgrade mine as but old

It's better to not do that though

Vehicle battery doesn’t have any relevance to firing up the boiler that’s run from two separate batteries

Here's mine

What’s with all those loose uninsulated wires ? They look quite corroded?

Yes it does(all 3 are connected to each other)all diesel heater installers recommend firing up the boiler after starting the van first.

The pic is from me changing my pump and obviously I'd not connected the wiring up to my controller yet.

You ve just had a very expensive hot water system installed in your van!why would you get another van?it'll be a ballache to swap it all over to a new van.

Best thing to do is get a hot water system installed in a brand new van and keep it for 10-15 years

I use a 20amp commercial numax 'connect and forget' charger.cost around £100.you want a decent 20amp charger as your charging up 2 batteries.Ctek are good chargers too.

Well day one went very smoothly very impressed with it had it on the hot setting today so much easier then gas set up no pilot lite blowing out every 5 minutes with the wind and a more consistent heat in fact it got hotter as the day went on

If the boiler is connected to the van battery then starting the engine first will make sure there is enough power in the battery to start the engine first then yes , if the boiler is connected to another battery or 2 batteries it won’t make the slightest bit of difference, if you have two batteries each one say is 105 ah that’s 210 amps the boiler uses about 30 amps on start up so that won’t affect the two batteries.

Only one heat exchanger ? Thought it was a 2 man set up ?..
