    Indo: How to Open a Non-EUR Deposit Account Inside Ireland

    Hi Ciaran, The bank employee asked if I knew of anyone in Northern Ireland whose address I could use and who wouldn't mind passing on the relevant documentation. Their new a/c registration process apparently requires the entering of a NI or UK postcode. As long as you can use this address...

    Indo: How to Open a Non-EUR Deposit Account Inside Ireland

    folks, visited Santander, Progressive and Halifax in Ni yesterday and all accept ROI citizens to open non resident Stg accounts. Santander advise that you have access to a NI address merely to receive the paperwork but are otherwise fine with ROI residents. The other two mentioned accept...

    Is it possible to pressure test one loop only of an UFH system?

    HI DGOBS.......no evidence of any other leaks. The first thing that alterted me was the higher flow rates on the loop servicing an ensuite/walk in robe. I then noticed some of the timber on the floor of the robe started to darken significantly. Obviously I'm hoping there's no leaks at all in...

    Is it possible to pressure test one loop only of an UFH system?

    Folks, Have a terrible feeling that I may have a leak in one of my UFH loops. When multiple loops are "open", the flow rate in one is significantly higher than the others and I have noticed some very obvious pigmentation in a number of oak floorboards in a walk in robe. Is there any easy way...

    How to increase return water temp to boiler?

    Thanks Villa 1. Is there any method of optimising this so that too much of the flow water isn't 'lost' to the flow (if you understand me) or is it literally a trial and error exercise until the balance seems about right?

    How to increase return water temp to boiler?

    Folks, I'm running UFH and I notice that the temp of the return water to the boiler is running at approx 30 deg C after circulating through the UFH loops. Is there any way I can increase this as I'm afraid of corroding the heat exchanger. Its a wood pellet boiler so low return temperatures...

    Boiler output not on a par with demand after short run period?

    Hi Ted, Yes, its the flow pipe that exits the boiler at the top. When the initial demand is placed on the boiler, (i.e. when the stats begin calling for water), the pipe is very hot to the touch (flow temp around the 70 deg C mark) but quickly (within 30-45 mins), the flow temp drops...

    Boiler output not on a par with demand after short run period?

    Folks, In the last week or 10 days, I've noticed that when my UFH is calling for heat for any moderate amount of time (e.g 30 mins+), the output temp from the boiler appears to drop significantly. Typically the output is circa 80 deg C but I noticed at the weekend that I after a run time as...

    Different flow rates in 2 UFH loops - is it a cause for concern?

    HI Folks, I note that I have two different flow rates through 2 UFH pipe "loops" serving the same master bedroom and ensuite/walk in robe. One runs @ approx 2l/min and the other @ 4l/min (the shorter loop having the higher flow rate). Is this a cause for concern (i.e. is it an indicator of...

    learning about ETF's. Small sum to invest.

    Folks, Was recently the recipient of 5,000 which I hadn't planned for nor expected. As such, I'm happy to have a wee gamble of sorts though i feel the sum doesn't really merit investing in individual shares given the cost of trading and the number of individual companies I'd have to invest...

    Had same problem. Mortar stains on glass for a year +. Removed the mortar with regular stanley blade mositened (careful use of stanley to avoid scratching) but the horrible etch marks remained. Very prominent when the sun shined. Spoke to my window supplier and he advocated very gentle...

    Idea for Pendant Light in Room With Vaulted Ceiling?

    Folks, I'm looking for ideas for a pendant type light for our living room. It has a vaulted ceiling (approx 15 ft light). I'm not a fan of those chandeliers complete with crystals etc. but will need something of substance that hangs low from the ceiling. The room is 5m x 5m so reasonably...

    Folks, Is there any data out there about whether Wood Pellet Boilers will come back in price again now that oil is cheap (well much cheaper) than it was. Obviously the pay back period for alternative options has lengthened now that oil is back & continuing to head south. I know I could get...

    Good time to Invest in Stockmarket via Index Trackers?

    Folks, With most indices at a low ebb, I plan on starting a savings fund in early January for the nipper and figure now is probably a decent enough time to invest in the stock market. I don't have the time nor skill to pick individual shares and given most indices are pretty low, I was going...
