    Stormwater
    Is it OK for water to sit in your stormwater pipe? It's PVC and has primed and glued joins and flows to street when it rains and doesn't back flow. Some water just sits in the pipe.is this OK ?

    Yes it's OK but indicates improper pitch or bellied pipe. Will allow mosquitos to breed. How big is this pipe?

    That is kind of what I thought . It's about 25m long and 90mm wide.The house slab is almost level with the exit in the gutter so hard to get any more fall

    Do this also:

    With the t-stat turned OFF which means
    FAN --> Auto
    Mode; Cool-OFF-Heat (turn to OFF)

    At the furnace connect R to Y to G. Before you make the connections, turn the power to the furnace off.

    If all goes to plan, the AC would turn on, but never turn off. The inside fan will run too.

    ---

    Aside:

    Something to consider, since you have the right number of wires: Make the Rc/Rh connection at the Stat and also bring Common to the thermostat.

    Depending on the age of the furnace, Common may not be labeled, but if your tstat supports common, I would use it.

    Common is simply the other wire of the 24 V secondary that isn't connected to R.

    ---

    I didn't want to put this in the picture: Thermostat signals and wiring - Transwiki but I will now. Look at the thermostat schematic pic.

    The forum is wacky. I wasn't logged in when I posted a message and it just so happened to appear here. Not my fault, honest.

    KISS & Brian,
    When did this thread become a heater problem? I can understand KISS hitting the wrong send button but Brian, why did you answer? Inquiring minds want to know. Tom
