    Glow Worm Flexicom combi - how reliable are they?

    the reason i give it fair is simply there are better boilers out there (although cost more) as said the ultracom is better as are Vaillant, Worcester etc. that doesn't mean its not good. now if you want real shiite then you need to fit Ferroli, Ideal or a Biasi!!

    Glow Worm Flexicom combi - how reliable are they?

    agree with lightning the boiler itself is fair but installed without a proper flush it will be problematic as will any boiler with a similar design heat exchanger. definately get a magnaclean / TF1 fitted to the return to catch any crap from the system

    you could use a self levelling compound to screen the floor first then tile over that. but you would need to keep everything off it whilst it sets

    Vaillant ecotec plus cycling on HW only demand

    i have copied the reply to the above from the CC so that all can see. maybe it is, but the design although good could be improved I believe with a software redesign thus eliminating the small problem I have experienced when the system is running for just UFH the help you and others have...

    Vaillant ecotec plus cycling on HW only demand

    sorry but i think there is an issue with the 400 series, not when running a 2 zone system via a VR65 but certainly when running a 3 zone system via a VR61 as has been seen by me since swapping from one to the other!

    Vaillant ecotec plus cycling on HW only demand

    but as they all share a common PCB then surely its not beyond vaillant to add additional parameters to allow the boilers to operate as i suggested in the post previously? also are the small boilers not the same boiler but with different software settings on the pcb? or are they in fact...

    Cutting Holes In Worktop

    the main conciderations i would think are not the amount cut out/left but what support it will get from underneath, as a 38mm top cut to within 10mm will be nearly as strong as a 20mm top cut to 20mm of the edge. but if you then strengthened the 20mm top with a batten underneath then it would be...

    Vaillant ecotec plus cycling on HW only demand

    li'm following this and other threads on the issues experienced with 400 series boilers and have come to the conclusion that vaillant need to get these issues sorted! surely they can rewrite the software to include a slower burner ramp, a system of control like D.0 and D.77 that can control the...
