- Can I swap out my old showerhead for the Methven Kiri Satinjet Low Flow Showerhead?
Can I swap out my old showerhead for the Methven Kiri Satinjet Low Flow Showerhead?
In most instances yes absolutely. The Methven 5.0L/min 5 Star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow showerhead comes with a half-inch 1/2" BSP connection which is very common amongst showerheads making swap-outs very easy.
A test to confirm if you can swap out a standard rose or not from an existing shower arm is if you can twist it off yourself.
If you can't twist the head/'rose' that probably indicates the existing shower rose is integrated into the arm.
In this instance you need the Rose plus arm (either modern arm, capstan or dual pivot arm).
See below an example of an old very inefficient 15-25 L/min integrated showerhead that would need a new Rose plus arm (unscrew the entire arm off the wall). The Methven 5.0L/min 5 Star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow uses between 3-5x less water than those shower heads in the picture below, a huge water and energy saving opportunity.
You can choose any of our Methven 5.0L/min 5 star Kiri Satinjet Low Flow showerhead options from our website.

- How to find error codes on my Daikin Alira X?
If you believe your Daikin Alira X heat pump heating/cooling air conditioner is malfunctioning, you can check for any error codes via the Daikin remote controller.
This is recommended before raising a service case with Daikin and can help speed up any fault diagnosis.
Here are the steps to check for any error codes:
- Find the "Cancel" button (bottom left when you slide down the front of the remote controller), press and hold for approximately 5 secons, "00" will blink in the temperature display section
- While the "00" is blinking, press the same "Cancel" button repeatedly until a long beep is hear. At this point the code indication will change.
Some notes:
- If you hear a short beep and two (2) consecutive beeps this indicates a non-corresponding code.
- To cancel the code display, you hold the "Cancel" button down for approximately 5 seconds. Alternatively if no button is pressed for one (1) minute the code display will clear.
- How do I set up the Daikin Alira X monitoring?
For setting up your Daikin Alira X heating/cooling mobile app.
Where will you be able to view your monitoring? Mobile/Tablet App "Daikin" - Android or Apple App Store

- Do I need a generator for my off-grid system?
Your solar system should cover your power needs 95% + of the time, however we highly recommend a good quality, automatic start generator to ensure you have energy security and full power capacity throughout the worst days of winter.
- Are STC rebates available for an off-grid solar setup?
Yes, STC rebates are available where you have a Fronius SCERT inverter coupled with a Selectronic SP Pro micro-grid. This is a standard solution we offer.
- How much does it cost to go off-grid?
The cost to go off-grid will depend on your expected/anticipated energy demand. With knowledge of your energy demand we can then help you size your battery storage, solar PV, generator, microgrid inverter, etc.
It is worth noting that connecting a new block to the power grid can cost between $15,000 and $50,000 depending on the situation. And a typical energy bill for the average household is around $3000-$4000 per year (or higher in colder areas). Given the cost of grid connection and supply, a well maintained and high quality off-grid system is likely to be cheaper in the long run (20 years +), depending on your particular situation (if grid connection is >$30,000 you can pretty much assume off-grid will be cheaper).
- What size solar PV do I need for my off-grid?
You want as large a rooftop solar PV system as you can fit on your roof to reduce the amount of time you need to rely on your backup generator that may be required for periods during winter periods or times of low solar radiation (i.e. multiple cloudy days).
We generally recommend a minimum 10kW solar PV system, but the final size will depend on your anticipated load/demand. We can help you work this out by using our load profile sheet as part of our comprehensive quoting process.
- Selectronic SP PRO and SP LINK Firmware Updating
You have a Selectronic SP PRO Series 2i Inverter and would like to ensure you keep the Firmware up to date?
- Ensure you have the Latest SP LINK Software downloaded. This is critical to ensuring the latest Firmware gets loaded onto the SP PRO.
- Go to the Selectronic website here to download the latest SP LINK version
- Open SP LINK on your Windows PC and confirm you have the latest SP LINK installed - you can go to "Help" -> "Check for Updates")
- In SP LINK go to "File" then go to "Firmware Update..."
- If an SP PRO Firmware Update has been detected, click the button, "Update Firmware and Restart SP PRO on completion"
- During the SP PRO restart, "the SP PRO may be inaccessible for a few minutes while the firmware is installing. During this time, the SP PRO alarm may sound."
- Once uploaded and restarted - your SP PRO should now have the latest Firmware and will say, "The firmware is already up to date."

- Myenergi Hub Changing radio frequency
Hubs manufactured from May 2020 onward can operate on two different frequencies – 868Mhz and 915MHz. The frequency used depends on laws in the country where the hub is being used. The hub should be supplied from the factory to operate on the correct frequency, but if the frequency needs to be changed then:
- Press and hold the left hand button (Pair / Channel)
- Now press and hold the right hand button (Mode / Download) and keep both buttons pressed for 10 secs
- The power LED indicates the current frequency (Yellow for 915Mhz – Australia, Off for 868Mhz)
- After ten seconds the Server LED will change colour
- From Off to Yellow when swapping to 915MHz
- From Yellow to Off when swapping to 868MHz
- Let go of the buttons
To confirm which radio frequency is being used, put the hub into Pairing Mode. The Server LED will not be lit for 868MHz and will be yellow for 915MHz. If there are still issues pairing after changing frequency, try moving the hub and zappi to channel 2. Note, if harvi is in use, this will also need to be on channel 2
