Hi all
Recently had a Vaillant Ecotec Plus 832 Combi fitted. I also had a Salus ST620 fitted as installer said he had used few of these recently and they worked well - but typical luck the first one I got was broken out of the box. Second one worked like a dream....for two months that is ... and now is only intermittently sending the heating on signal to the boiler (boiler in loft, controller is at bottom of stairs, must be something like 4m distance max). So I'm now faced with the option of getting a replacement Salus or something else. Thought its worth exploring the options with those here that helped me so much last time round before I didn't the easiest replacement option (but have time pressure as pregnant wife!).
Needed a replacement boiler urgently and didn't have time/ability to sort out a conversion of existing combi to unvented cylinder + system boiler which otherwise would have been my preferred option. Now I still am hopefully of adding an unvented cylinder at some point later this year when I get some additional building works done.
First question is that if I intend to add an unvented cylinder to my combi (and run the combi DHW to a single tap) - can I just install those set of controls now, but switch off the HW side of the controller for now.
Second question is that if that is doable would the honeywell st9400c/dt92e10 be a good combination - anything else recommended more (I like 7 day programmable)?
Third question is ignoring future plans, what would be a reliable set of controls for the combi - preferably RF.
Thanks!
