Re: Drain while away?

So spent almost £60 on HPC's special formula antifreeze yesterday, to be delivered today.

Sods law, it's mild this morning, probably wont see a frost again this year :D


Leaving the chiller running made sense so I'm doing that from now on at least.

Re: Drain while away?

Ah, thanks Tom you're a star, it was reading 3.1 and now reading 5.1 so we should be good to go.

I'll leave it running for another 20 mins before cutting and am gonna leave the chiller running 24/7 now in the hope the waterflow will put off freezing until I can get some antifreeze.

Chiller goes on and off with the machine, hope that isn't an issue. Wouldn't want to leave it all running 24/7 no way. Hasn't properly frozen here in Wiltshire for years despite what the Express seems to warn annually :lol: Looks like I posted too soon. Frozen as hell (when it freezes over) here th...

Re: Softdog

Added a short USB extension to mine to give it the best chance of survival in the event of a mishap.

Only a couple of quid to possibly save hundreds.
