Smart.
Did you try the lemon juice for the soldering?
I was looking at a 240volt pc fan from a psu ,but what your saying makes sense. I will keep that in mind.
Not soldering, silver soldering, its like brazing but with a high silver content rod.
The SS gets cherry red, so lemon juice is just going to flash burn and leave a brown residue behind.
Useful info.
I have the standard brazing flux, white powder in a plastic tub, but its not working too well.
I normally use the plumbing flux. Blue or red top yellow container works equally well. Can't get to the name but will post it when I recall it
This was the stuff I was looking for, mix with water into a paste, spread on the parts and clamp.
R280 from Trojan Trading in Marconi Rd.
Bit the bullet and bought a Geyserwise.
Man I wish I had done this sooner. I have a 200L solar geyser on the roof which by design feeds a 150L one in the roof. The 4kw element in the 200L one is disconnected and the 3Kw in the 150 is active.
What an easy install and a pleasure to work with. I can now program when and how the element comes on and for how long and what temp. The hope is that during the summer months I won't need it on at all.

This will be starting this weekend with stuff I have laying around. No great hurry to get it done. Will make little items for it when I have the time 
Saturdays fail is Mondays win, with enough heat and the right flux, SS/brass hybrid 510 is silver soldered.
I've been getting good use out of the old Bellus since lockdown, cheaper on the juice.
The groove on the right is for the negative feed from the N-fet mosfet, which can now be soldered with acid core solder without worrying if the brass disk is going to slide off.
