Thanks for the manuals guys. Much appreciated. Also thanks for the advice everyone, Replaced the DHWS temperature sensor and the DHWS now works fine! :lol: It is also coming out warm instead of hot so the faulty sensor must have been throwing out the burner modulation.

How do you contact members? I can't seem to find out? I would like a copy of the manual doitall if you have one you can email me. The email is the same as the user name at a hotmail.com address.

I have to disagree the modern and more efficient way to extract water from a borehole is by a submersable pump. We have used this on all boreholes we have used to extract water for heat pumps. Granted this is in the UK where we like to do things efficiently!

This morning I had a long hot shower! 2 minutes after the wife had a hot/cold/hot/cold shower. I looked at the demand light and it is on constantly when a hot water outlet is opened. However the boiler fires and goes out intermittently. Does this eliminate the possibility of the flow...

This was my concern initially, I thought there might not be sufficient flow. This doesn't seem to be the case though. If it was overheating would the boiler cycle or trip out on overheat? Sorry for guessing things but I haven't got the manual, will ring alpha today though, thanks. :D

Surely the gas valve would only let a certain volume of gas through though right (assuming standard operation)? Wouldn't this be limited? I am not sure if my boiler has been modified at all. it was supposed to have been serviced by a CORGI guy before I bought the house, would there be...

These guys are right, what he is really saying is "I don't understand how 'A' rated boilers work and I am much happier working on the simpler 'B' rated boilers"! A rated boilers usually have slightly more complicated/more efficient controls to acheive extra efficiency but it just raises the...

Thanks for the response all. I am not sure which light is the demand light as I don't have a manual? The boiler seems to work fine in htg mode. As regard flow rate and temperature it's a bit strange, I understand 9 l/min is the design flow rate and at 12.5 l/min we should have a...

Hi all I would be grateful for some advice. I have recently moved into a new house with a 7 year old Alpha 240E combi. The HW works intermittently, it stays on for 10 or so seconds then goes off for a minute then comes on, Very annoying! I have tested the flow rate and I have about 12.5...

Do you have a copy of the Alpha 240E manual Chris? I would be very grateful if you could email it to me?
