Great List .... I've added three pipe connector abbreviations that I use all the time and put the list in Alphabetical order for easier reference:

C/H = Central Heating
C/U = Consumer Unit ( fitted with overload breakers)
CC = cubic centimeter or ml (milliliter) - 1cc = 1ml
CL = Chlorine
CO2 = Carbon Dioxide
CT = Chloramine T
CU = Copper
D/S = Digital Thermostat
DPD4 = tablets for testing Chlorine content
FE = Iron
FMG = Formalin and Malachite Green
FTC = Flanged Tank Connector

O3 = Ozone
ORP = Oxidation Reduction Potential
PH = Power of Hydrogen
PHS = Proflavin Hemisulphate
PO4 = Phosphate
PP = Potassium Permanganate
PPM = Parts Per Million = mg/l - 1ppm = 1mg/l PPM is the same as mg/l for most purposes?
RCBO = Residual circuit Breaker with Overload ( with earth Trip Device )
RCD = Residual Circuit Breaker (earth trip device only)
RO = Reverse Osmosis
S/PV = Solar PhotoVoltaic ( Electric collector panels)
S/Th = Solar thermal ( Heat Collector Panels )

You could also split this list into different sections for e.g. water chemistry, heating. sexist comedy , etc.
These type of info lists are great for newbies ... I've spent ages making a few information posts myself in the past.
The trouble is after a week or so they just get forgotten about and nobody uses them anymore ... that's why I've stopped making them myself now ...

I see this has been pinned as a sticky.
I've spent ages writing helpful posts for newbies that never get "stickied" ... how is it decided that posts should be stickied ...?
Are the one's I've written just not good enough? ...

Aha ... didn't know that ... I spent ages on some of them to help newbies etc. and had great feedback on them ... I got so fed up watching them disappear so quickly that lately I've just stopped writing them.
I'll repost the best of them with more relevant titles and up to the minute info ....

Drum sensor level question
Quick question regarding drum filters specifically draco medius or solum
Manufacturer recommends sensor to be 5mm under running water level
My question is why only 5mm surely u can have it lower
What do you run yours at
It's only a question don't shoot me haha
