Looking at potentially changing out from conventional boiler to combi. What are current views on the Viessmann 050 range? Can they be serviced from the front? House is 3 bed only one bathroom with shower over bath. Was going to go for the 30kw version. Thanks

old one installed 40 years ago (was gas)like for like apart from cannot get imperial size cooker so this is a toy one 50cm wide. Area C B and D will be sorted with the stainless steel splashback but if F which is the cooker, forms the zone then remedial works required. Thanks

Hi the Father in law is having a new cooker (oven and hob combined)installed soon. Tried to get him to go electric but didnt want to change :-( So he has took a call from the fitters arranged at POS and they have said no wallpaper behind the cooker (it has a lid). I plan to go round there and...

Thats what I was looking for :-) At the moment performance seems ok with no output from the tundish. In respect with a bit of tenacity I would say I can get the majority if not all the limescale out. The bit of plastic hanging around I am sure I can get that out. Does this mean my internal...

Looks like uni-strut?

Hi, It is leaking from the immersion. On investigation it is not the flange but the actual rod of the element where it passed through the immersion heater into the water jacket :( Got a new one and went to fit it at the weekend but was alarmed by the amount of limescale in the bottom. It wasn't...

But is it a problem? So far it seems not an issue, so let LL know who gets a gassafe out who says have better things in life to worry about. CP12 recently carried out but not whilst it was minus 4 out :) BTW boiler is on GND flr so no impaling claims from anyone

Friend of the LL doing a job round there. Tks

Wow that was nice and quick thanks

All, just been round a rented property and noticed that the flue has an Icicle hanging from it. It is quite a long flue run ie. not just straight out the wall, comes out about 40cm or so due to roof overhang. Is it something to be concerned about? I thought flue was supposed to slope towards the...

Oh dear so not rated then

Bump

What is the difference apart from external dimensions? I see the turndown ratio is not as good on the pure so does that mean different HeX? Does the pure require as much flow like for like output? Anyone fitted a pure what is the startup logic like. Thanks

Further to this then, if water is disappearing and no external leak then suspect head gasket/ head / block crack. You can get UV dye to put in coolant but before doing this check oil filler cap with uv light to see if the oil you use lights up under UV. if not then good as it may prove water...

Here is how the discharge pipe should be.

BTW the 3 program times are there to take advantage of cheap electricity like if you were on economy 10 tarrif.

Sorry to say I think you have been conned. If the old valve on the cylinder was letting by then a replacement valve should have been sourced. Was the old one the same size with 2 heating elements? if only the top one is working due to either incorrect wiring or fault then you will not be getting...

cancel my advice, you have a different problem to the OP. As others have said get someone out

Bottom element looks like no cable clamp. Perhaps switch it on and look at meter and see if it is drawing circa 6kw an hour so take reading for 10 minutes and divide by 6. BTW the time you are leaving on is not enough if any meaniful draw off. Times were set that way so if you have economy7 then...

Take a photo of the plastic pipe work by the tundish in particular any markings on it. How is the feed to the elements wired? To one junction box how is it controlled, normally you would have 2 options full tank or half a tank.
