Unfortunately, the boiler started leaking. Before winter, I flushed my secondary hot water heat exchanger and decided to buy a second one to replace it in case of contamination or breakdown. I was offered a more powerful used one. When it arrived, the lower pipe was bent, and I couldn't install it. They replaced it with a new one. I don't know how I installed it back then, but unfortunately, it started leaking from that lower pipe. Today, I couldn't install it until the retaining clip engaged, so I had to replace the old one. After I installed everything, water leaked from the pump valve when I started it. GPT chat advised me to tap on it to activate the valve and stop the water flow)))))). Thank goodness this happened when I was home and there was no frost. The large heat exchanger worked, but unfortunately, not for long. It was probably misaligned.

The weather is changing again, frosts are expected, which means there will be more shelling. It's snowing, and I still love this beauty. It will snow until morning, and I need to clear the snow from the panels and clear the ditch to prevent flooding again. I need to figure out how to organize it properly; maybe I'll lay down some plastic and some large stones on top.

It's snowing again, so I'm prepared to clear the snow away from the house. The brush and handle passed the test of heavy snow. Conclusions: the handle should be strong and flexible, and the brush at the end should be relatively heavy, as it also acts as a support point. It's a good thing I didn't experiment with different handles for the pool; I think they would have withstood the load.
