Okay so heres the rub..... got the QE2 off ebay (2nd hand) and was promised its working just fine. Slid the switch at back fully to the right (for fully pumped system) Installed it all turned it on pressed the reset set the day and time slid to "run built-in program" advanced the...

Nice one. That was what I was hoping..... Thanks Paul

Hi, I have a fully pumped system at the moment with a honeywell ST699B programmer. I don't like this programmer as I feel it is wasteful as you can only have two switched programs per day and it has no boost +1 hour button. I used the QE2 at my last place and got on with it well. I...

Hi, Hopefully someone can help. I have a Roca cistern and I have identified that I have the older D1D drop valve (with shorter d shaped rods). Like this one here: Occasionally (maybe one flush in 10) the valve sticks and water can be seen overflowing onto the pan. The first time I...

Hi, Not wishing to flog a dead horse about a programmable 2 wire stat but is this one suitable: http://www.thermsaver.co.uk/media/pdf/controls/thermsave-celect-programmable-thermostat-guide.pdf It's working from a battery so needs no power for the timer elements. It says it's 2 wire NO...

Hi all, Yes they were just examples. I understand now about the need for a neutral on the electronic room stats. I curse the tw*t that put the timer in the airing cupboard and double curse him for fitting a 2 wire room stat..... On the plus side I just fitted 14 ras-c2 's to replace...

Not all stats need 3 wires. I def have 2 (live and switched Neutral I believe. Many are advertised as being suitable for 2 wire and 3 wire installations e.g. http://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/honeywell-dt90e-wired-digital-room-thermostat/honeywell-dt90e-specification-guide.pdf or...

Fair point D_Hailsham. Do you know of a thermostat that will do a 1 hour boost of temperature rather than wait until the next change time though. A 4 hour boost is not what I would like ideally to have the following: 10pm to 7am - 10C (effectively off) 7am to 10am 21C 10am to 4pm 10C...

Good point though - that is not what I want. Having looked further I'm not actually certain there is a product that will do what I want. I want a boost for, say 1 hour and distinct on/off times rather than high/low times and on all the time (such as the TimeGuard TRT035 -...

Hi, I have a unvented "system boiler" type heating with pumped water and heating (separately controllable). The main controller is on the first floor in the airing cupboard. I have looked into moving it to the downstairs utility room but the cost is proving to be prohibitive due to the...
