Hey everyone! As an update to this kit, we now recommend a system pressure of 20 PSI or lower, rather than 30 PSI as stated in the video. Please check our latest instructions for our kits on our downloads page here: www.bobilvans.co.uk/downloads

should I be concerned at all with a 30psi pump ?

Wow! I’m being Bobil-bombed big-time tonight - from Mr & Mrs Bobil, & Liam as well! I’ve been waiting for these vids for ages and they all come along at once! 😀

Hi. I chatted to you at Camp Quirky. This system looks compact, simple, efficient and quiet. The option of using excess solar in summer to heat water for showers is a massive bonus. We have decided to rip out our old combi system and replace it with the Bobil. I'll be in touch in the next few weeks to discuss the best way ahead. Fantastic system.

This is a great option. I have seen your website, but I couldn’t really grasp what kit I needed. This video is a great help, & has explained everything. Thank you.

I would like to order one from NZ, bloody great idea, much, much safer than gas

hi, lovely system , could you let me know if the solaris works with a 24v swell as 12v for excess solar ?

@jackchalloner5019 Жыл бұрын

This is great. Just wondering ... I have the original kit, with the two separate sensor/switches, and wondering where to put the water temperature thermocouple. Does it go into the tank somehow? (12 mins 04 sec) Thanks.

Love this set-up but how do you link your cold water feed for your cold taps do you need a second pump? Thanks

@bobilvans4205 2 жыл бұрын

No need for a second pump - just have your pipes coming off for the cold water feed before it reaches the hot water tank 👍

May I ask for some thoughts on using this electric tank on a recirculating shower? I'm concerned about soap n sediments building up in the tank over time? Thoughts?

Love this setup! There is no need for expansion vessel?

@bobilvans4205 2 жыл бұрын

No, no need if you leave enough silicone hose between the pump and cold water entry valve 👍

Would this work attached to an lpg heater? I’ve got a propex heatsource 2000 but currently not water heater, and this looks like a great option… I’ve nearly always got excess power from solar and dc-dc charger so it would work a treat!

@ryantaylor95 Жыл бұрын

I'd love to know if you ever found this out?

@CosmicSeeker69 Жыл бұрын

the source isn't critical - just temp and volume of air. It's easy enough to source pipe adaptors from the 'net (making sure they're heat tolerant)

Is it possible to install the cylinder vertically? Or will you start to have pressure issues?

@bobilvans4205 Жыл бұрын

Hi there, I’m afraid not. If causes the over temperature sensor in the tank to fail.

@G-InThe-V Жыл бұрын

Hi. Did 30psi come with issues and this is now why you advise on 20psi. Thanks

@bobilvans4205 Жыл бұрын

We found that 30psi was quite close to the pressure that the drain valve would vent at, leading to constant dripping so lowering it to 20psi seemed to make sense :)

How do you switch between 12v and 230v if you have the dual voltage system? With the diesel heater connected as well. Trying to get my head around it all before I buy it. Cheers

@bobilvans4205 Жыл бұрын

12v system is controller by the Solaris, whereas the 230v is just a cable which you attach either to your ehu for use on hook up, on to an inverter and you just switch it on and off.

@willpolr Жыл бұрын

@@bobilvans4205 makes sense, thanks. No hook for me I’m purely off grid, but I do have a B2B charger (renogy). So having the 230v makes sense as it’ll be perfect when driving. Many thanks for the reply.

Hi. Can this system be linked with a calorific to heat water from engine heat?

@bobilvans4205 10 ай бұрын

It can indeed. You can find more information on the downloads section of our website. www.bobilvans.co.uk/downloads

I have an eberspacher. How do I link the bobil controller with my eberspacher 701? Or does it replace the eberspacher controller.

I must be thick or just stupid 🤔I have the old Bumper air exchange kit (bought 2yrs ago but only just fitted it) as there is no diesel heater connected to it in the hybrid kit why is it needed 🤷‍♂and why do need the 3D printed covers still fitted (apart from fitted the sensor into it)

@willpolr Жыл бұрын

There is a diesel heater connected to it. It’s a hybrid of both diesel and electric.
