If you are renting a flat isn’t this the responsibility of the landlord?

No never, all pipework runs up from the ground floor and down from the first floor so I assume it is located between floors.

I live in a 1990 built dob and dab 4 bedroom smallish detached house with a 32kW Ideal Vogue fitted in August 2022. The CH temp is set for 50C to boost boiler efficiency and runs through 10mm microbore pipework downstairs with standard pipework upstarted. Rather than using weather compensation...

Shouldn’t the installer be tasked with getting it to work properly. Was it their first install?

Do you actually need a higher temperature than 40C. Anything above and you are likely to add cold water from the tap.

i think you are just unlucky.

TRV’s can unbalance a system according to some heating experts

Watch a selection of YouTube videos on balancing. I followed the advice and got mine heating up simultaneously.

If it isn’t broken why fix it?

Thanks for the expansions but I thought the whole point of adding inhibitor was to prevent the corrosion. My system is fully dossed with X100 and has been tested for its strength.

So water within the CH is replaced by a certain amount of air indefinitely of equal pressure? My understanding is that if fresh water is introduced then air from that water will separate into the tops of radiator or towel rails. So I don’t have an issue then?
