]]> Comment on Solar Hot Water – Evacuated Tubes – Apricus vs Hills by Sean http://www.clearchain.com/blog/posts/solar-hot-water-evacuated-tubes-apricus-vs-hills/comment-page-1#comment-492 Sean Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:42:18 +0000 http://www.clearchain.com/blog/?p=622#comment-492 Hi Ben, Thanks for sharing your research. I'm also looking for a Solar Hot Water system. There is another company called SunTrap. Have you done any investigation about them? I got a quote from SunTrap which, pricewise sits between Apricus and Hills. The pump they use is Salmson model no: SB04-15, energy rating is 22 watt. They also claim their evacuated tubes are better than all others in the market. Would be interesting to hear other people's view on this. Hi Ben,

Great laptop; has been my main machine for 8+ years and I plan to keep it going for as long as I can. Just started having this problem in 2010; first problem I've had with this computer (other than a wonky stick mouse on the keyboard, which I disconnected). My screen still works with the backlight dimmed. My screen is a 15", but is also 1400x1050. Does that make sense? I didn't realize the 14.1" and 15" screens were both 1400x1050 compatible. Anyway I guess I need a 302mm bulb instead of the 292mm. Thanks for your posting. It was very informative. I'm looking forward to the repair. I have a 2002 Dell 8200.

I have been involved in the sustainability industry for a couple of years now, which led me to purchase the Apricus system ovetr Hills (personal choice - both have there good and bad points) Sometimes when the pump is on there is a whistle ? There is a noise which increases in tone and then suddenly drops and lasts until the pump automatically switches off , it doesn't normally occur first thing in the morning or even later in the afternoon and even in the middle of the day when the temperature is hot . It appears to be coming from the tank , cannot hear anything from the pump. I have also noted changes in water temp in the shower on a couple of occasions lately. Can anyone tell me what they think the problem may be? Im keen on sustainability and I think its a good system but I would like it to actually work properly. It was not cheap I have the apricus system.
