Hi guys This is more an observation than query,lve just had a new combiboiler fitted(Baxi 836) and its working very well,very quiet and running on far lower settings than previous Alpha cd28c.All good. One thing ive noticed,and it must have been the same with old system,is that some rads get hot...

Should have read primary pressure switch

Thanks for your reply.Managed to get engineer out,turn out to be primary pressure valve. All sorted now.

Hi guys last year you helped me tremendously and i,m in trouble again. I have an Alpha 28cd and this morning it didn,t fire up.A and B are flashing alternately,which usually signifies a drop in pressure.The needle was just on the line at the lower limit so I topped it up.It still doesn,t fire up...

Thanks all

Hi all just had two new radvalves fitted.This resulted in the loss of about 3 to 4 gallons of water being drained from system.Plumber said it wouldn,t need any further inhibitor to be topped up.System has 4 small double rads(75×55cm)2 large double rads(140×55cm) and 1large single...

Hi The Novice its still running ok since last night..damn weird..Iv,e never been a fan of"it,s just a glitch" so can,t think of anything that could have caused it.Should have said boiler is 10 plus years old and up to this year has been very reliable apart from adding water for low pressure...

To The Novice,Hi Thanks for that I,ve now changed batteries in case it was that.To gas busters,all the radiators were cold,room stat at 21.5c and with flame icon lit (room temp set at 22c)denoting boiler should be on.Boiler was heard running but pressure needle was still in green band.Also...

Hi guys I,m adking for advice again,you helped me out in Feb this year,thanks for that. Alpha 28cd combi. Been running fine until this week,red light flashing on "dash" checked with supplied fault finding guide and said to flick switch to reset..all good again.Tonight turned room stat up to put...

Final(hopefully)update,boiler fired up at 6am,so kept pressure overnight,thats 5 days so far and NO leaks.Dare I say in the words of Inspector Clouseau "the case is sol ved".

Engineer came this morning took off condensate pipe that runs into top of condensate trap found split in it where it bends at 90° Replaced with new pipe (costing £18!!) new O ring(free!) Time will tell when it fires up from cold,as this was the only time I saw it dripping.Apart from this boiler...

Got in touch with Alpha Innovations this morning..waste of space..all they wanted to do was sell me,at grossly inflated prics,boiler repairs and servicing.Got engineer coming tomorrow to fit new condensate pipe,boiler now behaving correctly apart from this leak.Fingers and all other digits crossed!

Just raised room thermostat from 22°to23.5° "her indoors feels the cold!"and boiler leaked half eggcup of water,don,t know where from as covers are in place.Any thoughts

Cant see whether line or trap is clear at the moment..I,ve reassembled covers etc..but I,ll check tomorrow.Once boiler fires up,either by recharging via loop or as it did this morning unaided it will run faultlessly,giving heat and hot water,all day.

Boiler fired up this morning but half cup of water had leaked into a bowl i,ve put underneath it.It seems it only leaks when boiler fires up,did notice water dripping onto newly fitted AAV from the grey flexible pipe above it(condensate pipe?).This was removed to gain access to AAV.If this pipe...
