    Drayton Wiser 3 Channel Installation with Complex Existing Wiring

    Check that cylstat 1 to N (any known N in the circuit, not the blue in the Cylstat) is 240V when HW is demanded by programmer. Your diagram appears to show boiler is wired with 240V external switching throughout but be aware that some Vaillant proprietary controls use volt-free switching...

    I agree with Denso, inserts are brand specific, OD is standardised. Should be unproblematic.

    25mm Mdpe pipe

    Any combination of check the pipe ends for distortion, recut using pipe cutters if required a smear of silicone grease on inserts (you did remember these) and pipe ends more force to achieve full insertion (Matron!) should suffice.

    Where can I get comfortable knee pad trousers?

    Suggest you look at Snickers - their range is vast and the choice of sizes unmatched. Not cheap but nor is a week or a month off work with knee pain.

    I agree. What I want in a sauna is powerful drench of mains-fed cold water.

    Electric shower crisis.

    Within the power limits dictated by the existing cabling, breakers etc. It would be poor advice to encourage the OP to wang in a 10.8kW unit on existing 6mm² cable, for example, without qualified on-site assessment.

    Electric shower crisis.

    not necessarily required if kW rating of new shower does not exceed that of old. Agree with all above about better performance from mixer.
