    Gloworm 30cxi Short Cycling

    Have had to turn the heating side of it off now as was woken in the night to it revving its fan again but the heating side of it wasn't doing anything. Turned the heating on and the heating started up then it cycled off and started reving its fan with the pressure digits going up and down then...

    Gloworm 30cxi Short Cycling

    It's now doing this thing where the fan surges - like a car revving when I turn the power off with a f12 fault code. It really doesn't seem well at all. Turning on the hot water seems to clear it but it does this for about 5 minutes before sorting itself. During this time the pressure digits...

    Gloworm 30cxi Short Cycling

    No - all copper piping. It was blocked with crud apparently - hence they drained the system down. I agree though it's a pile of steaming $hite! Sick of the damn thing. Pretty sure the flow NTC temp sensor is part of flow switch and that was replaced.

    Gloworm 30cxi Short Cycling

    I was thinking the same - when it used to work ok sometimes it did cycle quickly because we run the flow temp quite low anyway as low as 45c sometimes but the house was always toasty can't get the rads more than Luke warm at present. The temp on the display I am assuming is the boiler flow temp...

    Gloworm 30cxi Short Cycling

    Hoping someone can help. This boiler is really starting to annoy me now thankfully I have insurance on it but the engineers who come out have sometimes been clueless. Over the last few years it's had main Pcb replaced, new heat exchanger, fan unit and various other things. The last repair was a...

    Which heating thermostat?

    That seems to have the TPI cycling feature. Can you tell me how this operates on a combi boiler?

    Which heating thermostat?

    Thats what I had before the current digital version. I want something where I can have the heating have the house upto 20C by say 0700 or at least have different temps at different times without manual intervention. The Salus seems to do this.

    Which heating thermostat?

    I agree, so now I need to find a decent controller then.

    Which heating thermostat?

    Hi there, Thanks for the reply, I am wanting weather compensation but my boiler a gloworm 30cxi (god awful boiler) doesn't have that ability, but it is condensing! Its protected by a central heating cover contract if it wasn't for that it would be long gone now. Its had everything replaced on...

    Which heating thermostat?

    I am looking for a new thermostat that is programmable and will replace the current hallway thermostat by EPH controls. The current thermostat is just a digital temperature one so I can set the set point and turn the heating on and off but it is not programmable. The boiler itself has an...

    Boiler flow restrictor

    Yorkshire water came out to check the pressure, they said that there is 5 bar of pressure at the outside tap which is fed off the stop cock in the kitchen. There is a flow rate of 18l/m at the outside tap apparently but I think he was being optimistic as the kitchen tap which is closer he was...

    Low pressure on Mira Combiflow shower

    Yes sorry about that. I turned it down as we didn't have mixer taps on the other taps or kitchen but now they are all mixers I never adjusted the hot water you see. Just left as it is as we checked other taps and it didn't matter as flow was still 12l/m out of them. So it's the shower that...

    Low pressure on Mira Combiflow shower

    Bit of an update... As this is a pressure differential valve it balances the temp by adjusting the pressure. We have the hot water on our boiler set quite low so that can wash hands at hot taps without having to have the cold on. Today I tried something I haven't tried before. Turned the...

    Looking for a pressure pump not in excess of 12l/min

    Know this is an old thread but it's a shame your not up Leeds way to fit me one of these grundfos pumps.
