    I have just recently connected a Giandel 3300 to my 12Volt 280Ah LiFePO4 battery which is being charged by a Epever 4210 solar charge controller. I have noticed as the battery charges up that the inverter is intermittently giving the "HI" error and high pitched whistle indicating over voltage. The battery is showing only about 13.9 volts which I have verified with a multimeter and is nowhere near the specs of 16 volts in the Giandel manual. Do you think this is caused by the Epever charge controller? I have been searching for this scenario online and your channel came up in the results. Thanks

Just used it for the first time and I am super impressed. Had to figure it out since I had no manual and although I've watched a few videos, yours is the most comprehensive tutorial available. I don't even know how old mine is as the date code was on the original power cord and mine had been replaced, but the suction on it is incredible. Now on to buying replacement accessories.

    I had the same issue with that little wire lol.. I'm having an issue with my battery monitor it's stuck on 100%. I haven't changed any of the wiring. Have you came across this and know how to fix it? I always reset it back to 100% after I charge my battery, since it has a built in plug to charge. I also unplug the little connector so the display isn't on all the time when not in use. Then plug it back in when I'm running a motor on my kayak. So I can monitor the battery. Great video!

    NEVER go over the voltage limit. You need to stay well under that limit as volts increase as temperatures decrease and will burn out your charge controller. It will "handle" it as long as the volts are below the max, but you are playing with fire by plugging it into a power station that can't handle the volts. You can over-amp because amps are pulled, but not over-volt as volts are pushed. Good luck and have fun!

There are 3 hoses in total: 2 clear polyethylene or vinyl type hoses for the upper and lower drains. The big hose vent double tube that vents to the window. They all can be disconnected. If the clear drain hose is stuck, you could heat it gently with a hair dryer on low setting (don't get it too hot because you might damage it). The hose will soften when heated and be easier to attach and remove. I didn't need to heat mine.

    I was scratching an embedded lone star tick behind my knee thinking it was a mole I've had all my life. When itching didn't go away, I finally checked it only to discover it was a tick. In talking to my neighbors, they made the same mistake. One thought he had a spider bite and another thought she had a mosquito bite. Bothered by persistent itching for a couple of days, they checked and found an embedded tick. Today is day 12 or 13 of lone star tick bite for me. Yesterday, my bitten leg muscles started feeling stiff, rigid, inflexible. Today, the knee and hip joints of the bitten leg are painful. I had itchy rash at bite site for about a week. I also started feeling asthmatic on and off yesterday with yesterday being day 12 or 13. By the time I realized it wasn't my life long mole but was an embedded tick, lone star tick must've been feeding on me for two or three days. I discovered and removed the tick a week ago Friday. Saturday, I went to urgent care and was prescribed a 10 day course of Doxycycline, 100mg, every 12 hours.

    😊My Tick Bite:😮 Pain and neuropathy following a stabbing dibilitating initial PAIN. It was that this bite happened from a small black tick that I found about an hour or less after the PAIN that was severe to be sure but again was followed by dibilitating numbness as neuropathy around my big toe which began also to swell and have a blotchy discoloration. I treated the toe in a bath of hydrogen peroxide, alcohol and baking soda in tepid water.* The numbness diminished but did not cease ergo I went to see and receive advice from a physician. It took me about 30 hours from the PAINFUL bite to be examined by said physician. I was given by mouth the diaoxilin (It was the basic LYME antibacterial agent, correct my spelling if you know the name) medicine at 1000mg. dose and a med to assist in reducing the swelling. A second dose of both meds were taken, about 6 hours later and all the while the swelling does linger but is reducing and the tingling of the affected toe doth as well remain but is lessening. So now Ive conveyed, told to you whom has read this far, my story because I had been ignorant on the variety of ticks, tick borne diseases and pretty much anything related to tick bites. In this season, (Spring 2024) I had a few ticks found on me and removed or brushed off my epidermis with little thought or reason to be seriously concerned. I'm a neophyte to ticks and their habitat being I lived in the desert where they're not found to my knowledge. But this year I've been in their neck of the woods visiting my sister in Marion County in the north central western area of Arkansas. I'll finish by saying of ALL the UA-cam vlogs I've watched since my PAINFUL bite, this '411' has me feeling much better psychologically and my big toe has been feeling much better too. It has been a week since the whole episode began. Thanks to this man, i am breathing a lot better. That regurgitation aspect happened to really give me some peace of mind!❤ * My method and agents of self treatment was dictated by my situation on the 'off grid' rural piece of land where I found myself pretty much on my own to handle this bite and its after affects.😮😢

      I use it for supplemental heating/cooling in my bedroom. It works well except it doesn't heat well when the outdoor temperature is below 37F. There is supposed to be a hack to improve that, but I haven't tried it yet. U shaped window heat pumps should be available soon. These should be more efficient, quieter, and hopefully heat at lower outdoor temperatures. If you need it portable and need it today, it is probably as good as you can get for a portable heat pump.

I've got a dehumidifier in my basement too and I use it for the exact same reason in the summertime. It significantly increases the comfort level, and greatly helps the ac work.

I am in Arizona but at the peak of the day in March, I only got a little lower than 500W at most. Wonder if that was due to poor performance of the EPEVER controller.

      Lone star ticks don't transmit Lyme disease. However, they can transmit several other diseases. There are currently no general recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis for that bite. The same procedure for tick removal should be followed and about a month of observation for signs of illness (rash, fever, pains, etc.). Should signs of illness appear within that period of time, see your doctor.
