My story: got 4 Ecostrad iQ Plus heaters, wifi & cloud controlled. Two failed - the wifi/cloud control part - after about a month of use. Got one replaced, now going to ask for the second one as well. Chose them because the switching is with triacs (no switching noise) and not with relays, but...

Thank you guys for the answers so far. A few points: - "...via a relay controlling a contactor sort of idea" - A DIY solution is tempting but the fire insurance of the flat would definitely invalidated. Do not want to take the risk. - The existing heaters (brand is Atlantic) work but the...

Hello. Advice needed please - Is it a good idea replacing the 2 relief valves in the attached picture? Background info: Got the property 3 years ago, the Megaflo HE worked well. There is a huge amount of lime deposits on the Expansion Relief Valve (foreground) and a bit on the TPR Valve...
