    Ecotec 831 plus R1 pump change

    I think I clearly stated that the Wilo was the old one. The relevance being - I thought there might be a slightly different fitting to the expansion tank. All sorted now thanks and onto other issues which I won't trouble you with. The boiler will be serviced and the plumber will do all the...

    Ecotec 831 plus R1 pump change

    Changing the pump using 178983, I believe this is Grundfos (black label). The old one I believe is Wila (white label) and had known problems. Straight away I noticed the bolt size to the casing is different, so I haven't attempted to change the "head" only. I've changed the whole casing for the...

    Pressure relief valve blows on connection to mains

    Can anyone advise how a 3 bar pressure relief valve ( on a small hot water tank) works when the mains water pressure is higher than 3 bar. I believe it's quite common to have mains pressure higher than this so am surprised I've not come across the problem before. It blows and flows full bore...

    Increasing rebate depth for double glazing.

    are you 100% sure they are rebates. sometimes it can be beadings both sides. it's obviously a lot easier if that's the case. worth stripping the paint on one of them and having a check.

    Identifying older PE pipes

    There are lots of adaptors for the various older standards of PE pipe (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE). Does anyone have any tips for identifying which adaptor should be used. Pipe I am looking at at the moment is 27mm OD. So it's a 3/4" pipe but which one...

    Strange false alarm.

    can't remember the brand and model but it is dual tech. how does the sensor get re-enabled - when the alarm is reset? strange pattern of guard alarms though isn't it?

    Strange false alarm.

    Came back to find the alarm had triggered yesterday. Strange thing is looking at it the time between the triggers was exactly 2 hours and 14 minutes both times. As if there is some kind of fault that was ignored for a set period of time? The sensor has not triggered a false alarm before. There...

    Recommend pet friendly wired alarm sensors please

    that;s a quad PIR, it will mention dual tech if it's dual tech. do you need 4 sensors? think where they need to be so that one will go off if there's an intruder in the house you don't need to do every room necessarily.

    Recommend pet friendly wired alarm sensors please

    The one you have linked to isn't dual technology - PIR only is cheaper. Dual tech use microwave sensing as well as PIR to reduce false alarms.

    Texecom keypad backlight

    Does anyone know a reason why my brand new keypad backlight should only be 1/3 working? (apart from it's faulty, etc;) I didn't notice if it was always like this.

    Texecom COM-GSM No signal??

    Dip switches are all off (as supplied). Panel software is 2.01. Both the panel and the COM-GSM were purchased brand new a week or so ago. These are the instructions that came with it. I have seen another version of these instructions that gave a function for the DIP switch 3, I assume they...

    Texecom COM-GSM No signal??

    yes I have checked and re-checked them. They are all in the off position so GSM mode. I think it must be something like that though. I think your top picture is an older model. I don't know what the bottom picture is. This is the one I have-

    Texecom COM-GSM No signal??

    Ok, I have hung the aerial up even higher off a hanging basket hook and now LED3 on the GSM is steady (strong signal). At least I know the aerial is working. I have once again uninstalled the GSM module in Wintex, unplugged it and rebooted the panel. Plugged it in, left it to settle...

    Texecom COM-GSM No signal??

    it's still there! I haven't seen any change in the signal strength which makes me think that the panel/wintex/keypad isn't reading it correctly. The COM-GSM LED3 is blinking which indicates "marginal signal strength" or -88 to -77dB accoding to the instructions. I have been in and out of the...
