Great, have ordered now.

Hmm hadn’t thought of that. Maybe same way my phone rings without a clanger?!

Just now loud enough, and there’s a delay when routing thru Bluetooth mini speakers.

Hi For a group activity, held indoors for 20-30 people, I need a device that buzzes. It should buzz continuously for as long as an activation button is pressed using a finger. It shouldn’t vibrate, or play any alarm/siren tune - just a simple buzz sound, that in most cases will be activated for...

Hi, removed the loop and there is a v small leak even although the valiant CW valve beneath the boiler is set at closed. Do you know if this be repaired or will it have to replaced?

Hi I have a Vaillant Ecotec combi boiler. My magnetic filter is leaking and I’m waiting on a new seal to arrive in next few days. I’ve removed the filter and switched off valves at the filter pipework and beneath the boiler on the flow and return pipes. I’m hoping to continue using HW as...

Thanks, just googled and found this, which should do the job...

Thanks, if I had known about these they would’ve been perfect. I don’t think I can retro fit tho.

Hi I’ve just installed about 3m of shower panels in an L shape in my bathroom. It’s not the nearest job I’ve ever done and I now have up to an inch gap where the panels meet the ceiling which is freshly plastered and painted. I think coving might look a bit odd on shower panel walls, and just...

FFS! It’s the thermostatic shower! That’s why when I’ve been closing the CW supply at the boiler, all the hot taps in the house still run at the same flow rate (with CW, of course)! Thanks @Johntheo5 for all your persistence and advice.

This is odd. The DHW at boiler is hot to touch, i.e. the 43 degrees D.04 reading being given is correct. If I grip the pipe it becomes uncomfortable after 5-7 secs. However, 2.5m away, at the kitchen HW tap, the water’s lukewarm! There’s a tee beneath the boiler leading to a WC, and closer to...

Hi Sorry, I don’t have a thermometer so can’t take actual reading. If a v hot bath is around 38-40 degrees, I estimate the DHW temperature being produced is below 30 degrees. I measured flow of 8.5LPM at kitchen sink, 2.5m pipe run from boiler. D.36 reading is 4. D.04 is 42. Kitchen tap is...

Yip, dial appears to be working but no effect on output.

Hi Running at 4.5lpm when HW set at 50 degrees results in temp climbing to over 60, burner cutting out until temp falls, then repeats again and again. As described in OP. Running at 8.5lpm, d.40 - 55-60, d.41 - 51, d.36 - 4. Whether running at 4.5 or 8.5lpm, temp no where near 50 degrees...

Hi CH working fine. Just set rads to 55 degrees and boiler operating constantly at 57 for 6-7mins now. Rads are fairly hot to touch too, definitely close to desired temp. Makes me think not a blocked plate then? So more likely canoe filter?

Hi Just ran it to measure flow rate - it’s approx 8.5l/min. The burner stayed on but water was tepid although display fluctuated between 54-61 degrees.

Not the blue display model

Hi Ecotec Plus 831 HW only luke warm, CH working fine. When running HW, flow pipes do not get warm. Diverter valve has been replaced (probably unnecessarily). When running HW, burner starts, temperature rises few degrees above setting then burner cuts out, temp falls then burner continues on...

Hi My TurboMax 828 is 23 yrs old and the diverter valve has been replaced three times in the last three years. So now thinking of replacing the boiler with another Vaillant. Would prefer to keep existing flue, if it is still in good condition. Would anyone know if the ecoTEC plus or ecoFIT...

Hi I have a first floor flat. I’ve got a CW pipe that runs from the bath feed, out the wall, and down 12ft to garden level, where it’s connected to a garden tap. I fitted a shut off valve and a drain valve inside the flat. My plan was to shut off the tap every winter to stop it freezing...
