    Opinions on boiler upgrade plans?

    That would work But an unvented cylinder indirect coil often is 20kW or more yet the radiator loading often is 12- 15. When cylinder is getting required input of heat, reheat times are fast ( have seen 15 minutes to get to 75% duty) Some boilers are dual input allowing boiler output to be...

    Boiler kw advice

    The boiler will hardly be undersized for radiators you have 831 may be dated but hardly ready for the grave Talking from experience as have the same boiler You don’t need a new boiler but an engineer who will look at the system and give you honest opinion. For this you need a service/ repairer...

    Item 17, the plunger passes through part 23 and is attached to item 16 which itself rests on the diaphragm 15 In idle state, the spring retracts the plunger. System water is exerting same pressure on both sides of diaphragm When the pump runs, differential pressure is created across the two...

    Absolutely nothing to do with 04 code. This unit activates the boiler when hot tap is run.

    Two hot water cylinders - probably daft question

    Immersion heater for UV is behind the plastic cube like cover on the cylinder On the vented cylinder immersion easily seen. Both will have a coil through which heated boiler water flows to heat the cylinder, much faster than the immersion can

    Vokera linea 28. Error 04, water pressure OK. Micro switch is not pressed.

    Read my earlier post re flow manifold Have come across this issue many times What one needs to appreciate is, hot water heat exchanger is inside the boiler and radiators are connected to the boiler with long runs of pipe. Then visualise water flow though a virtual short circuit as opposed to...
