Heating A KOI POND In Winter - Heat Pump & SOLAR Breakdown

Heating A KOI POND In Winter - Heat Pump & SOLAR Breakdown
In this video we take a look over the winter period and break down the cost of heating a koi pond through the winter time, and also take a look at how the solar system has performed through the worst time of year for solar generation.

Good research for all of us to know Si….. 👍🏼

Great video si very informative top job 👍

Cheers Andy!😃

[@chasingkoi]

Great vid Si, very informative bit bogalin but worth the watch top man, cheers Terry,

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Thanks Terry. The main focus was the running of the ASHP, the Solar was for my data collection purposes more than anything 👍

[@westbromkoi]

Very informative as always Si, if someone has already got solar installed, it's a no brainer to run an ashp 👍🏼👌🏼

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Cheers Pete. Totally agree buddy👍

[@Steve_1970]

I'm toying with the idea of a ASHP, Very informative Si 👍👍

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Hi Steve. They aren't for everybody but a must if you wish to gain consistently good growth as it basically extends the UK summer period. Or even just to hold temps stable, don't necessarily have to use them to heat high👍

Very good video, mate! It was very interesting for me to hear what your electricity cost are and your solar generation is worth. It is quite similar to our system and cost here in Australia. What surprised me. I thought our cost here were higher to yours in England.

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Now that is surprising! 👍 thanks for watching

[@shaunleonard8146]

Hi Simon, very interesting. I can think of worst things to spend your money on. Your getting great results!

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Definitely Shaun👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Superb and informative video Si, well put together and well explained👏👍. You’ve convinced me……..I’m going to “borrow” all those solar panels off your roof when I come to visit😂🤣😂🤣. Keep up the good work👍

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Thanks Phil, I'll get the ladder off the van for you!😜

[@Chequr_Prostate]

Great video, the moral is heat your kettle up to 18 degs. 😂

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Thanks, remind me not to have a cuppa at yours!😂😜

[@OliBowden]

Interesting v video though as it shows how’s a genuine timescale of how long it would take an average household to get money back from a solar setup 👍.

[@kieranberney8620]

Winter solstice is 21st of December. So six weeks either side of that are worst for solar. Roughly 7 of November until 7 if February. In your example day on day there was more daylight ie more opertunity for solar.

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

The purpose of the video was to highlight the cost of the ASHP, not the solar generation. I used the Solar generated during the same months recorded for the ASHP as JAN, FEB & MAR are typically the worst months for ASHP as they are generally the months where ASHP are at there least efficient, so it gave me the data I wanted to know whether the solar generated had covered the cost of heating the pond during the coldest periods.

[@atsuminaoki9910]

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to operate in mid-summer in the UK? You know, feed them well during that period and spend the winter unheated and unfed, like many of us?

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Yes it would. And I explained why in the video🙂

[@sony436]

hi pal which energy supply are you with pal

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Hi buddy, I'm with Octopus energy 👍

[@sony436]

ok thank pal think swoop over to them as I`m with british gas and also have solar too

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

@sony436 Octopus by far the cheapest, and the best export tariffs around

[@thalfordth]

Hi Simon, interesting video buddy. I’d say £174 for 3 months is reasonable, if you consider how much you’re cheapest koi cost in you’re pond if you were to replace it. Also consider how much it costs to treat for trick/costia or flukes or even worse loss of the whole collection of prized koi as a result of really bitter winters, as some people have experienced. Something to think about.

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Very good way of looking at it👍 I think is the initial cost that tends to put people off. Now that electricity prices have dropped a little it makes it even more viable👍

[@CBersPond]

Interesting video Si 👍 Hope you're well.

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Thanks Keith👍

[@Littlenickskoipond]

Say £60 a month sod all really what size is ya ashp again

[@OliBowden]

Nice may try and sell the £12k-£15k setup cost to the mrs so I can heat my pond and save £174 over 3 months 😂😂

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

You can get it much cheaper than that. Average between £5-8k depending on the gear you have and the size of the roof. Most systems will pay back in somewhere between 5-7 years👍
