    Not just oversizing the filter but also oversizing the variable speed pool pump. The lower, on the range of possible rpm, it runs then the lower power draw. Running for 8 hours will use less total energy than running the same total throughput for 6 hours (for example). In one my earlier posts...

    Well worth doing some investigation into variable speed pumps in advance of needing to replace your single speed pumps. The issue with single speed efficiency is that they're running at 100% the entire time they're on, so energy efficiency is very poor. For my friend's pump/filter spend, he...

    About 25% or so I think - max size they could fit in the under pool deck equipment space was how it was chosen.

    Is your pool pump variable or single speed? Surprised it is such a large load. A very large & deep pool I know of, runs a variable speed pool pump (1.45hp engine that the supplier calls 1 hp) for 8 hours to turn the pool more than once and it runs at 380Ws. Well so much for memory, just...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I think you need to ask that question only AFTER you have been told the card is now cancelled, not during the process. Don't show your hand until the very last moment.

    ..and you're sure you don't work for Ausgrid? Not quite identical to Ausgrid but much closer than our profile (or the others posted so far). If not too personal, what drove your loads yesterday? A/C or ev charging? If ev charging was it through a standard power outlet?

    Your profile looks very similar - very short sharp ramp and much longer decline. Ramp nearly 3 hours and decline over 6 hours. 1715748883 Not quite identical but a similar short very sharp ramp with a much longer decline - certainly not symetrical like Ausgrid are claiming.

    Well that's a superb amount of manure polished so much that it shines! Our panels are near perfectly sited for both aspect and angle here in Sydney, to the point that QCells' local reps were surprised by how much we generated per kW installed. I can only speak of my experience for solar...

    Find the contact details for the 'Company Secretary' (aka chief legal officier responsible for all regulatory issues) from Corporate switchboard if unable to find elsewhere, ask to be put through & likely you will get someone else in that office. Tell them you have concerns about what is being...

    Any ability to open a totally new account for someone else in your household? Then split your spending across those two accounts ($50 and some cents each account). Finally, turn on family pooling (in VFF) and all is well.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Try reducing your spend (put only a % of your buy using the card and put the rest through separately) gradually over 3 to 5 weeks and then miss a week totally, then spend a small amount using your FB a/c. Depending how much you spend each week determines whether 3 or 5 week decline (>$100 = 5...

    But if you earn enough in the interim then you may be able to gift a membership (AFAIK it that 'bebefit' is still going).

    Did you, by chance, bid for an upgrade for your recently redeemed flight?

    Possibly someone has tried to hack into your account. Time to call them up to find out what's what. Is your redeemed flight still showing?

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Just looked through latest statement fpr 21 Degrees and rates varied for each transaction on same day.

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    From experience, the 21 Degrees (MC) is a dynamic one with multiple transactions on the same day but spread out over some hours - all at different (but better rates) then we paid to get the cash. One reminder for PayPal users. NEVER take the default offer (where they show the amount in...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    Wouldn't expect them to, more likely play the banks off against each other along these lines: "We're currently examining our existing and future banking partnerships (Bain that is implied, but only for VA II). At the same time we are restructuring our debt positions and would like to invite...

    What is Virgin Australia's strategy (post-administration)?

    ...and I wonder how much of that debt has susbequently been re-financed? Typical modus operandi sees any 'guaranteed' debt re-financed asap with non-recourse debt.
