Sounds like your and your Misses are having a fab time Maurice. Take lots of (underwater) pictures for us OK?
That pretty much covers what I wanted to know. Do you take the J-mat plug out when you empty/clean the kaldness or just turn on the air and then drain?
My Vortex is fortunately on the smaller side (27"@60 gal./300 liters).
I agree with you about a daily flush being wise and my thoughts were along te same lines as yours... how long can I leave it in an emergency without a flush. Nice to know where your limits lay even though we don't need to go there. Your return will be a nice test of how things go when it is left unattended. Try to take some pictures if you aren't too jet-lagged
Hope you have a good time and don't look to much like a gleaming white pom on the beach to all the Ossies
Fair Dinkim mate, throw a prawn on the barbie and think of us freezing our nXts off.
