@glynhudson I’m using a @NewarkCylinders custom built cylinder to my spec too. 🖤🏴‍☠️👍🏻

*this post was comparing ASHPs, the real kings of DHW efficiency are GSHPs @RichMWPHS 👏

I've just noticed that over the last 90 days, the most efficient heat pumps for DHW production on @Openenergymon HeatPumpMonitor.org are all using @NewarkCylinders Super Cylinders 🥳🚿

I'm very glad I replaced our oil boiler with a heat pump last year. Apparently, the breakeven COP to be cheaper than oil is now 1.8 🤯 The combination of ASHP, PV & battery can provide significant energy independence and tariff stability youtu.be/Tz0W9xCBxS0?si…

@Damon_BPHR Tbh, if I’d known you were doing the job I’d have come over. Charlie didn’t say who the installer was. 😉

@RichMWPHS Yeah these weren’t great tbh, slightly confusing on set up. We had 17 on the job and 1200lph. On the flow meters we couldn’t get them to add up to our flow rate, dt was good, rooms were warm, checked with testo and got dt but wernt registering unless you shut stuff down

Been working at the legends house that is Charlie Diyte this week.

@Damon_BPHR Deffo fitted on the returns right? 😂 They are just a flow rate gauge at the end of the day. The fact you’re saying they are at zero flow concerns me a little. Should ultimately show the flow rate you have. The ones I setup at Mars’ house all registered the correct flow rate.

@RichMWPHS Yeah mate 100% we checked them all.

@Damon_BPHR Deffo fitted them on the returns right?

@RichMWPHS Yeah mate he said he got them from a pirate 😂 I’m not overly fussed mate they wernt giving correct readings, some where registering 0 even though we had flow and rooms were at temp. Strange behaviour. How accurate are they?

@Salad_Chefs 5070 but both are sitting idle?

WHAT GPU ARE YOU USING, TELL ME RIGHT NOW!!! 🔫

@KhalifaDar82863 @Salad_Chefs Me too. Just got one of my PC’s sitting doing nothing that was active before I updated to 1.9.8. I think there has been too much messing about and it’s negativity impacting my rig.

@Salad_Chefs unfortunately I keep losing jobs when downloading with rtx 5070 on version 1.9.5..

Dear customers, The Chefs want jobs. You want affordable compute. Help us help you, which helps us help the Chefs. And then we're all helping eachother.

@Salad_Chefs Ok, I’ve done clean installs on two of my rigs running lower paying jobs to 1.9.9. Hasn’t errored like 1.9.8 did. However it’s not downloading new jobs either? Is there a way to of retaining previous jobs when doing the update? Frustrating when you loose them for an update.

@RichMWPHS Glad to hear you're getting jobs - just keep an eye out for when we push a fix or update again because you'll want to be on the latest build once the issue is resolved. Thanks for your patience!

Heads up, Chefs: Some Chefs are currently seeing issues downloading/starting workloads. This may temporarily impact earnings (containers may fail to load). We’re investigating and will share an update as soon as we have a fix. Thanks for your patience. Cheers, Chefs.

@Salad_Chefs My supplier has some of the lowest electrical costs in the UK - 7p/kWh. Salad should really do the ground work and have an electricity calculator to show if you are going to profit or not. At least then you have an informed decision to lease your GPU or not.

@RichMWPHS For anyone with high electricity costs, it's unlikely. For anyone reading along - we recommend checking your local rates, measuring your power draw, and calculating whether you're in the green or not. For those in dorms or with solar, the above (generally) doesn't apply!

🚨 Attention all 3060 Ti chopping Chefs!🚨 There is still a huge batch workload on deck at Salad, for your glorious 3060 Ti. So if you have a 3060 Ti, it could be earning on Salad right now. Just sayin'. Start chopping - I'll be right here if you have questions. Get the jobs while they're hot!

@Salad_Chefs Yeah, $0.02 per hour isn’t going to cover costs for many 3060 Ti owners I’d imagine.

@RichMWPHS You can check out salad.com/earn/demand for demand levels and average earning rates!

@Salad_Chefs 290W whilst using the GPU… I was leaving it on after I’d finished using it but it’s not worth it for $0.01-0.03 per hour.

@RichMWPHS What is your current power draw with your rig?

What is your dream “Chopping” Rig for Salad? Assuming you don’t have to pay exorbitant RAM prices of course.

@janrosenow Where in Mid Wales @janrosenow? I’m in Newtown.

HELP NEEDED: A colleague's mum in mid Wales has been told by her heating company they cannot install a heat pump for her in her old stone house. Can someone recommend a local installer who is experienced with old houses and heat pumps?

Coolest temperature so far this year last night, dropped down to 5.8C, my @myGrantUK Aerona 290 heat pump is working well, keeping the house toasty warm with a space heating COP of above 5, data from this sysytem is live on @Openenergymon 👏😀heatpumpmonitor.org/system/view?id…

@glynhudson @myGrantUK @Openenergymon Another cold night tonight! Looks like some good performance there! 😎👍🏻

@plumbers_urban Just the pipe positions on these units let them down visually imho. Looking forward to watching this one! 👍🏻😎

Can’t beat a twin fan unit COP on 32c design. This has all the chances to be SCOP 5+

@glynhudson @Openenergymon @tom_bray Even I got a mention! 😎🏴‍☠️👍🏻

Thanks to @tom_bray for this excellent video about @Openenergymon HeatPumpMonitor 😀 👏youtube.com/watch?v=2dPZTL…
