That's about what I get. The kitchen tap can only be slightly open. Certainly not what I was lead to believe. I'm a little surprised that the water supply is a problem because I can run 2 cold taps simultaneously without significantly affecting the flow. The shower is now noticeably better than...

As I was advised that the 837 was the right boiler for my requirements, my expectation is that it will produce the flow rate specified. I was quite specific that I wanted to be able to use two bathrooms simultaneously and was assured that this was the boiler for me.

As far as I can tell the installer left all the settings at their default values. Setting D.36 controls the hot water flow sensor. At the moment the value is 0. Does this setting affect the l/min of hot water the boiler produces or is it the flow rate at which the boiler will start heating the...

Keith, thanks for all your advice. I'll try it out over the next few days and see how I get on. Should I be able to estimate gas consumption or are there too many variables? Maybe having the gas meter checked for accuracy would be the solution?

Keith - I will do as you suggest. If I understand you correctly, if the thermostat is set to modulating mode, I can expect the boiler to run almost constantly, although it will be modulating its output to maintain the target temperature. The boiler output temperature was set at 70C. Have you...

Morris40 - Will the TRV's have been damaged by the reverse flow? I had adjusted the boiler output to 20kW but it did not seem to have any effect on gas consumption, although it did seem that the radiators took longer to get hot. I have now turned the comfort (warmstart) feature off but, as you...

Hi I have recently had an ecotec plus 837 installed and am becoming a bit concerned by the gas consumption. The boiler was fitted to an existing system of 13 radiators having a nominal heat output of 15.5 kW. Although the boiler output of 28kW far exceeds my requirements, I opted for the boiler...
