I have a couple of Drayton Digistat +3 wireless thermostats in the house. The downstairs one seems to be playing up. When the thermistat sends a message to start the boiler and open the valve, the green light on the digistat scr receiver lights up, but the boiler doesnt fire and the valve...

I have been advised to have a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 937. Should i make sure the Vaillant VRC 400 weather compensator is fitted at the same time? The boiler will be in the center of the house, so not near an outside wall, so will that make it difficult to fit the outside sensor? i guess it...

yep 10mm being fitted by electrician tomorrow. I assume when the Trton says "temperature stabalised" do they all do this? and is it important?

I need a new electric shower, In B&Q the ones i am looking at are the Gainsborough 10.5kw delux £139 The Triton Stabalised spellbind 10.5kw £229 Mira Sport Max 10.8kw £245 Has anyone got any recommendations? I was liking the £139 price tag of the gainsborough. Thanks. Rob

Doitall.. thanks for for the information... that was why i didnt want to go with the pump route. I wanted potable hot and cold water throughout the house. (its not easy trying to guarantee a 4 year old wont drink from the wrong tap). Agile.. i didnt realise that about the accumulator, i...

simond... Thanks for the info, i will speak to GAH and get some more info off them. Doitall... I have been thinking about your suggestion, will the water be drinkable, if i do as you suggest?

I will check what the meter is in the light tomorrow. I have to admit i dont quite understand the sealed storage tank and pump set option. If i cant get the flow to increase from the meter, i assume you mean that i get a large tank say 200-300+ litres and pump the water from there? so as not...

There is a water meter in the pavement outside the house, so i assume this is the cause of a low flow rate? I agree that if possible i would prefer a thermal store, but either way i need to have a much better cold water flow dont i? So if the meter is the cause and i doubt i can get that...

Thanks for your responses. Doitall... The house has a static pressure of 2bar, with a flow of about 8-10 litres per minute. I have checked with the water board and they say that this is all i will get where i live. I have also checked with the neighbours and they have the same flow. So...

One way of controlling the temperature in individual rooms is using something like they sell here http://www.heatmiser.co.uk/

Ah, it may not be the boiler alone heating the room, in the same room is a tumble condenser dryer

I am pretty sure i am going down the route of fitting a accumulator / expansion vessel to increase the flow rate at my property. After searching and reading on these forums I still am not sure about a few things, and any help would be appreciated. Sorry i do have quite a few questions! My...

My old boiler looks like it is just about ready to pack up. I have been toying with the idea of converting from the hot water cylinder to thermal store or a combi boiler for a while now. But i think the combi may be a cheaper and easier solution. The static pressure in the house is at 2bar...

We have a house with a exension over the garage. The room above the garage is allways very cold, i assume because it needs some insulation. The floor boards are the big chip board boards. Also in the room there are some fitted cupboards so i cant easily remove all the furniture. Can anyone...

Thanks i will look into that, my programmer does do DHW and CH seperatly, so it should be less of a change.

Could i not just leave the programmer as it is and then have a completely independent circuit attached to cylinder that has a fused live going to the cylinder stat and then in turn going to the motorised valve. Then when the cylinder gets too hot the valve will close, the water in the...

I have gravity fed hot water and pumped radiators. I have a drayton tempus 7 programmer and i would like to add a cylinder stat to the cylinder. Does anyone know the easiest way to do this? Rob.

Does anyone have any advice or experience on which thermal store to consider? Ideally i would like one with solar connections to allow me to upgrade later if i choose to. At the moment it seems to be between something from DPS or gledhill ie the torrent se .

I have just moved into a new house. It currently has a hot water cylinder heated from the boiler and immersion heater, with a header tank in the loft. My cold water static pressure is 2.8 bar and i have a flow rate of about 12litres per minute. The house has 2 bathrooms. So all i...
