Hi Hugh thanks for the reply, one thing I do not understand is it looks like the pipe to the CH water tank which is 15mm is between the pump and the V4034 valve. How would the hot water get to the tank if the pump is off. Thanks again for your help Tony

Hi, I have CH system with pumped CH and gravity HW. It consists of Ideal Mexico boiler V4043H 2 port valve Lamdis & Gyr RWB2 controller Pump The CH has no room thermostat or hot water thermostat and allows for hot water only or hot water and CH. !. Can the system be changed to have separate...

He does want the heating on in the morning, the problem is that he is obsessed with turning everything off at night. If I can physically stop him from turning off the boiler he will get used to it being left on overnight. Would it be safe to bolt a perspex panel to the metal boiler cover which...

Hi Andy, thanks for the reply, I don't think a Hive would work as he would still turn off the boiler and he would also turn off his router (I don't know if Hive works via internet or 3g)

Hi easyflow, it's because he turns off the boiler at night it means it's cold when he gets up in the morning.

Thanks JohnD for the reply, but he would still know that the boiler was on and turn it off at the boiler.

Hi Bernard thanks for the reply, an MK secret switch has already been fitted to prevent the mains being turned off Tony

Hi footprints thanks for the reply, I hadn't thought about using the frost stat. It would solve half of the problem but unfortunately would not get the temperature up to 22 in the morning Thanks again Tony

Hi I'm trying to stop an aged relative turning his boiler off at night. It's a Worcester 24CDi and is controlled by a programmable thermostat which is set to 22 degrees during the day and 16 degrees overnight. The boiler is being either/both turned off at the boiler and/or the temperature of...

Thanks for the reply I wanted to use a lighter membrane due to the garage being 12m long, it makes it at lot easier using 1.5m rolls

Apart from the cost what would be the difference between breathable and non breathable. And does anyone know of a modern felt that won't kill bats

Hi can anyone explain the benefits of breathable over non breathable felt to be used on an 80sq m pitched roof in a garage. Also I have read recently that breathable felts can result in the death of bats that roosts between the felt and the slates. Does anyone know of a modern felt that is...

I don't know very much about these valves, all I know is that a new one has around 9.25mm exposed and that if I compress it by around 2 to 3mm it closes the valve. The temperature I quoted in my last message was a red-herring.

I have just had a look at a new TRV4 valve and the pin at 68 degrees protrudes about 9.25mm and will go down another 2 to 3mm when pressed. There is a tool to balance the radiator using the TRV.
