We have had a smart meter for at least a couple of years, no need to send in meter readings since, one less job. As for the display it has been used to check how much an appliance is using occasionally, particularly when on standby. The most satisfying thing is see it say 0 watts used when boiling a kettle on a sunny day, we have solar panels! FYI over the year the solar panels generate more electricity than we use.

I love smart meters (when they work). I have mine sending data every 30 mins. By doing this you can also track your half hourly usage on their app or website, it tells you what and how energy is being used. You can fine tune your usage like hot water, I found that it's cheaper to hear my water with electric (I supplement it with solar panels). Also you will need a smart meter if you move to certain tariff like ev or off peak tariff.

I have just had a bilge pump pushing ProFlush acid though my Yamaha - up the pickup that goes down to the leg. It was running and has removed saltwater crud and also corrosion on the block. I have run the engine for 5 mins without overheat warning, I will run for longer once neighbours are not all outside enjoying the weather. https://www.force4.co.uk/item/Force-4/ProFlush-Marine-Engine-Descaler/4C1F I run the engine on muffs at home after every use (bar a week a year over the last 8 when i have had it on a mooring), and it still crusted up. The hose connector only flushes one side of the thermostat, so that is not much use. It's worth checking the corrosiion / build up behind the stat on a regular basis, and being prepared to flush the crop once in a while. Just been though and found my last engine flush / clean post.................2007! so 15 yrs later, not surprised she needed some love!

The women ALWAYS catch more than the blokes ! And they LOVE it! Never miss the chance to rub salt in! 😄👍 Good to see the wives joining in. 😉
