I had one of those EPH stats, they certainly switch around the temperature setting on the dial

Not a great test but just fill that pocket very very slowly with the immersion upright and look for any signs of dampness anywhere along the tube and especially at the bottom.

Thanks, can you see signs of corrosion on the end of the tube/pocket where its crimped, its difficult to see in photo 3. Is that tube touching any part of the (heating) element?.

Did you notice any corrosion or whatever in the stat pocket? One migh think that faulty wiring + electrolytic action causing a current flow to earth might cause the RCD to trip at 35ma but maybe a far less current will do the damage, but may require a copper stat pocket. Did the plumbers...

What was the pressure this morning when you fired up the boiler?, check it again in the morning before firing the boiler.

Unlikely, but possibly one or both filling valves left open. What is the boiler pressure now now and is the system hot or cold and is CH on or off?.

Correct, I got mixed up with the switched live colour of blue.... so 230V constant between the brown and the blue (N) on the left, irrespective of the stat setting, and 230V between the switched live, blue on the right and blue (N) on the left with the stat calling for heat and 0V when not...

If you can use a M.meter, check for 230V between the brown and the blue on the far right, ter 2, while turning the dial up and down.

I remember over sink instant (I think) gas fired water heaters where the gas fired up as soon as you opened the hot "tap"?.

Q Is that likely though, with a side mounted unit??.

Strange though why changing a rad should affect the static level in the F&E cistern

I've seen postings where incoloy immersions but with copper pockets do fail (leaking pocket) in less than 6 months, when used in stainless cylinders, its suggested to ensure that the pocket also is incoloy, apparently some are not.

You're correct, the only way I can see that pocket/tube failing is either mechanically, maybe (but very unlikely), fouling on something inside the cylinder or very acidic water corroding it but most unlikely in a matter of a few months. You might hold on to this one when you remove it and take a...

Yes, that should be OK, CC2 at 5.1M, but would probably work fine on CC1 at 4.2M, one green only.

Can you post a photo of any one of the failed immersions after removal concentrating on the pocket that the thermostat rod is inserted in, showing any visible signs of corrosion, cracking, etc. Have you, as suggested in your other thread, tried a Becker Immersion??

Assuming two new stats, if you turn one off on its on/off switch as shown, and the other (the one you say isn't working normally) doesn't switch off the boiler off "normally" and you then switch that off also, see does it shut down the boiler. If it does, leave it switched off, turn on the other...

Not sure what you mean by setting it back to III, the only "III" above is constant curve III, IF it was on this setting then would/could definitely cause problems, if now set to PPI then too low IMO. Based on my own 12 rads I reckon that you require around 3.3M to give a flowrate of 20LPM if...

You said in post #6......"Three LEDs, when firing the I is green, II and III are amber." If it is Green space space yellow then I think it should be flashing, I think all the PP & CP settings have flashing LEDs but maybe thats only while configurating it, its a long time now since I set a UPS3...

Can you post a photo of the external? Grundfos Pump while running. showing the LEDs, also show/state its model number. OK, I see you have a internal pump. EDIT. it shows a external pump in the WB MIs but you stated in another thread in reply to my same query (re internal or external) that its...

Just lift the top off and you should see something like mine, downstairs as well with the Flomasta type filler, if the filling part is offset like mine then should be OK to install the ballcock type, take a snapshot of the inside of the cistern and show it to the plumpers supplier. I installed a...
