    aqualisa shower only luke warm

    Re water pressure, I'm talking pre pump, the cold pressure is less, so I wonder if this makes any difference. Do pumps have thermo switches in them?

    Individual radiator thermostat - how to fit these?

    :D I am looking for a simple solution, I have standard rads, with the supply coming in the bottom right with a twisty bit on it (the valve).. I am guessing that this is the bit that needs to be replaced with a TRV. Is this straight foward, or do I need to get a plumber in?

    Individual radiator thermostat - how to fit these?

    Like most people, different rooms in my house require different levels of heat. I notice this in my office room, which has a lot of computer equipment in it, which means I am either baking in there when the CH is on, and the rest of the house is fine, or temperature is fine, and the rest of...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    A small point depending on the features of wireless controller you have. As mentioned before, when the central heating timer shuts down, the live to the stat is switched off. Not a problem as you don't need your stat to be active when the central heating is off. When the power comes back...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    I would recommend a wireless device (it does not affected the setup mentioned below) The problem I have now solved, was a.) The original thermostat was stuck b.) The original thermostat was situated just outside the cupboard with the boiler in it, meaning that I had to turn the...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    Ben, thanks you very much for all your help. I will put a proper explanation here in laymans terms, incase there are any other newbies that want to attempt a similar. Objective: To replace an old mechanical thermostat with a new digital one. Additionally (but not important) the new stat...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    Thanks a lot Ben. The unit is not programmable so I will be leaving the existing CH/HW programmer in place, I only intend to use the new thermostat as a thermostat, so probably would want to change any of the feeds/wires the programmer is receiving. So I guess my final two option are...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    Thanks for all your help. I think I am clearer now. Situation as I understand it as follows (for the benefit of any other newbie with a similar problem): 1. The wired/Wireless aspect for what I am trying to achieve is a red herring. It does not matter, it is the connection between the...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    If from my pics, it looks like there is no neutral, then can I assume that one wire is the live coming in from the ch system, one wire is the live going back to the ch system, and that the satchwell is just acting as a simple switch that completes the circuit above a certain temperature? If...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    :-) Hi Dave, it is a wireless thermostat. What I was asking was that "wireless" part of the electronics only concerns the communication between the receiver and the transmitter, and that the connection between the receiver and the central heating system should be the same as a wired...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    Of course :-) But I guessing that the "wireless" part of the receiver setup only is between the transmitter and the receiver? As far the the central heating system is concerned, the unit is still just a switch right? Bar the issue with the neutral, it should be able to use existing wiring to...

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    Would it be better to get a battery powered wireless stat, so that the issue of needing a neutral is eleviated?

    Replace mechanical satchwell tlx 2356 with siemens rdh10rf

    True... So from my pics, what would be your guess for connecting up the siemens, from the wires you can see in the pics... as you will have worked out by now, my level of knowledge will need an "blue wire to LX, brown wire to Neutral etc etc type explanation ;-) thanks
