Hi guys. As part of a bathroom upgrade, we have had a Bristan Thermostatic Bar Mixer shower installed, which is fed from our WB Greenstar ii 25/32 oil combi boiler. The shower works fine, but I wouldn't describe the flow rate from the rain or standard heads as particularly outstanding. Our hot...

Hi guys. Now confirmed that a damper wasn't installed. The are returning next Friday (28th) to fit one. I'm so glad I posted here, so thanks to everyone who contributed.

What are you planning on putting in the pond and what volume of water will it contain?

Thanks guys. This is all great information. I'm not sure what nozzle has been installed, but I'll quiz the installers again. Edit. I've just looked at the invoice for the last service, and the nozzle supplied is 0.75 x 80 EH, giving an output of 28.5KW and no requirement for a damper. :(...

The model I have is a 25/32, with a flue length < 4m. Looking at that document suggests that a damper should have been fitted, and I'm not sure that it has. I'll refer back to the installer to find out.

Thanks. I've passed that information to the installer, and he's going to see if there is one available for that kit. They don't exactly fill me with confidence. :(

That was my initial thought, however, one of the first tests was to rotate it to various positions over a number of days, with the same result unfortunately.

Yeah, I guess. As it appears to be a fairly common boiler, I was hoping someone might have come across it before. I just like to be armed with as much independent information as possible.

Ok, so it's been a week and we've had more windy weather, but no lock out since the plume kit was disconnected. I find it odd that it can't handle a bit of wind, and other people must have encountered this situation. Do you think this points to a fault with the boiler being too sensitive, or...

The installer has been back today and temporarily disconnected the plume kit at the 45° bend. Not sure what they will do if it "resolves" the issue. Ill let you know.

The condensate pipe definitely not frozen. I've attached a picture of the flue. It's just shy of 2 metres long.

Hi guys. I had a new boiler installed approximately 18 months ago, but it seems to regularly lockout with code 9F 855. The installers suggested a frozen condensate pipe, however, it happens even on frost free days. Our oil tank was replaced at the same time, so unlikely to be from contamination...

We had exactly the same issue in our 1950's house. Original windows replaced with upvc, but the window company didn't fit steel lintels. Several years later, the brickwork above all the downstairs windows started to crack. They didn't accept liability, so we eventually took it to the ombudsman...

Thanks for the reply. The batching isn't so much if a problem because the utility and bathroom are separated by doors. It was more a case of getting the same style and texture. I should have been less naïve at the time and bought more, but hindsight as they say...
