so not a day girl then?We have our telly on less too. We used to put.it.on about midday cos the dog likes.to watch the drug sniffer dogs on boarder patrol and nothing to declare. We leave alexa playing the radio now but the dog starts making grumpy growling noises at midday. She is a boarder collie so can tell the time and has a good memory.

Quite warm then?!This morning it's -4° silly temperature, 25° Merkin temperature.
I'm retired, so I'm good to go here.Must stop chattin to you lot and do some work!
"Come on Stan, you've had your lunch!"
I had understood that HWS at less than 60° could cause Legionnaires disease bacteria to flourish.Having turned the stat down on our HW tank has massively reduced the amount of gas we use
DAB is digital radio, you can get it on a special radio or possibly on the telly or your pooter.

W listens to it on her iPad, or her special radio, and I have just checked and I can pick it up via the set-top-box and recorder, (our Humax). I just do "+" then "change group" which puts up all the radio stations. Channel 700 on.
There are some lovely old comedy shows on there, like Hancock, etc. I can also listen to Smooth radio which suits me, although you have to put up with the ads.
sounds like your FM signal isn't good.
So'm I but in name only!!I'm retired, so I'm good to go here.
I'm not sure about temps and Legionella, and I thought that happened only in open water situations like condensers on roofs of buildings where they had Air con.I had understood that HWS at less than 60° could cause Legionnaires disease bacteria to flourish.
What temperature is it that you are storing the hot water at? Or is it a Combi-boiler?
At that temp you'd be skating on itQuite warm then?!
If my pool was that temp I'd swim in it!!

also Legionella has to get in there first. But I will check. Put it this way, this has been like it for a month now and we are still here to tell the tale.
It is a very old system by today's standards. Gas boiler heats water which goes off to heat the water cylinder and the rads. There is a small overflow tank in the roof with the conventional ball valve, so I think this is called an open system?
the HW tank is fed by a big plastic water tank in the loft. So open again.
There was also the case of the poor guy who died from it after taking the top off the jacuzzi in the DIY store and breathing in the water vapour.Fair point, most outbreaks occur in large, complex system where it can grow and spread more easily.

In France the watter that comes out of the tank has, by law, to be mixed with cold to make it down to a "safe" temp. (New builds). The plumber had to come and change this fancy valve as he'd accidentally buggered it up when changing the sacrificial anode. I always gets alongside trades when I can and this guy is really decent. So he explained everything he was doing all the time so I could learn how to do it myself. Even recharging the special caloporteur liquid for the solar HW system using a central heating pump on a stand! He also gave me the old stuff back and said if I filtered it I could reuse it, cos it ain't cheap!There was also the case of the poor guy who died from it after taking the top off the jacuzzi in the DIY store and breathing in the water vapour.
But I do think it is silly to heat water so high that you have to add cold to make it usable for washing/bathing.
As it's a salt pool it might not be frozen, but the salt concentration is very low!At that temp you'd be skating on it
We did, this is DAB!
