many thanks! If the total length of cable is the only issue, then I think there is no problem. We can assume that the actual installation is correct regards distance and voltage drop and effectively I am only inserting one socket between the first and second, perhaps 2-3cm increase in...

Hi, I would like to add some sockets to my lounge. At present, there are two sockets daisy chained off the distribution point near the ceiling. Three 2,5mm wires drop down to the first socket and continue horizontally to the second socket 4m away. I want to put to double sockets at each...

We always put in carbon monoxide / gas detectors regardless of the boiler unless the client refuses (non to date). We have never had a problem with POC with Ferroli, at least with the old boilers..

From the posts I see that Ferroli is not highly regarded in the UK. They have a good reputation here, generally work well and are easy to repair. That said, this new one has fewer parts (5 I believe) so might be less to repair and more to swapout (at a higher cost?)

Has anyone experienced "leaking" on the new Ferroli Modena condensing boilers? We installed one this afternoon and liquid began seeping out from the bottom of the case via the gas tube. On opening the boiler we found that the tube which (probably) collects flu condensate is just stuffed into a...

"leaking" Ferroli Modena condensing boiler

Good ideas, in practice how often do you change the neutralisers? In Spain I get the impression that most installers don't drain to soil but rather into the mains network and I'm also not aware of a problem, though condensing boilers are not mandatory here. I have Bosch manuales with...

Well I see how you have reached 5517 postings.. I suggest in future you limit your 'contributions' to something of substance. Short, critical and unsubstantiated posts are of little help to anyone in a forum where people come to learn and share. If you truly have superior knowledge, why not...

So which part of the text quoted is "complete and utter twaddle." 1- that manufactures give analysis of the condensate? 2- that homes have plastics pipework 3- that metal pipes can be found one leaving the home (and that this is corrosive?)

The boiler manufactuer will give an analysis of the condensate in the manual which typicall has amonia, nikel, sulfates... the pH will be close to 5. I suspect that no water board will allow that without treatment as it is corrosive and metal pipes can be found outside the plastic home pipework.

I agree. I read that there is a theoretical argument about locating the TRVs on the return so as to minimize temp reading error from the hot 'flow' pipe but in practice it really make very little difference.
