The system I have been looking at is just the PIV. Supposedly works by having a slightly higher pressure in the house forcing out the stale are through gaps in the house. Designed for older houses. The air from the loft can be heated but still looks to be cold. I was hoping someone would have used this in real life.
-
It’s one of those things lots of very positive reviews on line not many bad ones except faulty kit. Sounds too good to be true. Fan in loft pushes stale air out of house, no more condensation low running costs. Are the reviews true or is this the best thing since sliced bread no one has heard about?
-
Well the lack of replies says it all don’t bother we haven’t heard of this. cheers gents il save my cash👍
-
Hi gents. Hoping I can get some feedback on a PIV system. Have been looking at installing on of these to try and reduce damp in the house. Online reviews look very good so would like some real world experience before shelling out.
-
Just done some work on a stihl pole saw I think HT133 it has a splined drive so may be an idea.
-
I haven’t had anything to do with the chainsaws. I have had the combo tool for a few years and runs ok. Also have the blower/vac both start ok and run but feel flimsy and plasticky. Might be ok for occasional use.
-
Oh dear. Hopefully he will find a new place to live now the plastic has been removed🤨
-
Found this little feller when lifting some plastic grass. Disappeared down its hole before I could get a better pic not sure what it is
-
The plastic grass was put down at a very cheap price by our local. Lop top and drive cleaners. It has done its job as Mam was very happy with it. The problem is it was put down on a covering of sand and animals are burrowing under it moles etc. it has been down abt 7 years now so not too bad.
-
Well after a few goes and finding some steps completely swamped with the tree I “pruned it properly” Looks much better thanks for the advice but it had just got too big.
-
We had a problem with the switch sticking in . The rollers would run backwards but not forwards. Then would start to work ok. Wd40 on the switch and all ok[emoji1]
-
Another thing to check could be the switch on the safety bar. This will cause the rollers to stop. If it is set up too close it may be getting knocked. Always assuming it is still there[emoji1][emoji1]
-
Yes it is the house is my mothers and she decided to have it put down so she didn’t have to cut it[emoji23]
-
Thanks gents I will have a go at the weekend and post some pics.
-
We have a Christmas tree in our small back garden planted by my Mother so felling is the last resort. Is it possible to reduce it so it takes up less space as it will only get bigger. I appreciate it still needs to look ok and not butchered so this is the reason for my question. Any help is appreciated.

I have been following this thread. Last week we lost out electricity for 3 days due to the storm. We were ok as the stove heated the house and we also have a caravan with cooker etc. Our neighbours are older people in council bungalows. A few years ago the powers that b decided to remove the gas fire from the living rooms and fit electric ones due to removing the chimneys. These vulnerable people were left without heat for 3 days. In the past social housing had to have two sources of heating seams the rules have changed!

Wish you hadn’t posted this just ordered two[emoji23][emoji23]

I agree with the above. I have just called them in the past and described the part needed. Very knowledgeable staff
-
Well both saws started today no problem at all. Checked metering arm heights ok. Well ok to my un-trained eye. Suspect problem is tank pressure. They are stored up high just under a steel Corrugated roof so take a lot of heat. It’s been cool the last couple of weeks. Will keep an eye on the temp and see how it goes. Thanks for all the suggestions it’s really appreciated.
-
They are usually either cleaned and put on shelf or if just had light use put back with whatever fuel is left in there. I tent to forget to drain down and as using motomix don’t need to. This usually happens after a couple of weeks standing if used every couple of days no problems. Just a bit embarrassing when you turn up on site and have to remove plug to start the saw. [emoji23][emoji23]
-
Yea I have pulled the plug after a week on the shelf it’s wet. So looks like fuel leaking when stood. As I say the 5000 has always done this and I have learnt to live with it. It’s sometimes ok the longer I leave it the worse it is. I’ve just got the 7300 and had the rebuild it and this dose the same so wondered if it was a common problem hence my question. Il check the metering arm at the weekend.
-
After looking at the wear I suspect either the oil pump failed or no oil causing the chain to nip up or over tightness of the chain. The bearing faces looked evenly worn and although rough the bearing was still free. Prob a case of poor maintenance and set up[emoji31][emoji31]
-
I did have the 5000 back to the dealer the first time it happened. Nothing was found and the guy I bought it off ran a lot of Makita saws. I think spud may be right with the heat expanding in the tank as I have more problems in the summer. Just remembered reading something about it in the past will see how it goes. Il check metering arm height. But as it has done this from new don’t think anything is worn.
-
I know it has been discussed before but I can’t find the thread. I have two Makita saws an Ea5000 and a EA 7300. The 7300 has just had the bearing journal machined. if I leave either saw unused for a week or so they sometimes flood and the plug needs to be removed to get the excess fuel out. Once started they are no bother either hot or cold. The 5000 has done this since new. Any ideas?
-
Thanks to all for the advice. Saw is running well. Found the reason for no tick over I had forgotten to put the throttle cable through the support. Doh. Going to run it on a 16” bar to run the bearings in already run on motomix so Lub should be ok.
