Thanks very much for your help. I will leave hot water set at 40C and see if there is anything I can do to improve the flow rate. There is a lever valve that's not full bore on the input but not sure if I changed that it would make any difference? Maybe I'll check with neighbors to see what...

Hi, and thank you for your continued help. Yes we both normally shower (especially in these temperatures) at lower than 38 - probably around 32-35C. As you say it may be that in this unusual weather the temperature differential between I/C water temp and required temp is too low. I'm not...

Hi I moved the boiler hot water temp to max (60) and then adjusted the thermostatic valve on shower to 40 The flow rate was 8.5 l/m. during this 30 second test (once water was at correct temp) the boiler didn't cut out at all. When I did the original flow rate tests the temp was set lower at...

Hi - No it was with the boiler still set to minimum (which is marked as 40C)

Hi - I have checked the shower temp with thermostat on shower set to max and it registers 45C (using an accurate cooking probe). So not sure why the 5C discrepancy. For the minimum heat output my manual says: Min. rated heat output net 40/30°C 12.9kw Min. rated heat output net 50/30°C...

I regularly descale the shower head so I'm fairly sure that isn't the problem. The flow through the shower head is also fairly good.

Hi, Thanks for the speedy response. Re filters I am not sure there are any apart from in the shower head (which I have cleaned). The flow rate as it is now is 9.4 l/m. I turned the hot water temp to minimum (40C) - it was set to just below max at 60C and pressure has slightly increased to...

I have an old Worcester Bosch Greenstart HE plus combi boiler. 3 months ago the shower, which has been working perfectly for last 5 years, would start off at correct temperature and then after about 2 minutes would run cold. Just as it was running cold I heard the boiler fire up and after...

Thanks both New expander it is then. Re the option to flog old system its probably not going to cost in as I have already purchased the Texecom flasher and cable. I have also purchased the Smartcom. So in summary, if I buy a new expander (V3) then it I'll have to relearn everything anyway...

I am after some advice. I installed my current premier elite system in 2016 and used a comwifi module to enable me to use Wintex and the ios app. I would like to upgrade the Elite 48 panel from firmware 2.11 to the latest v5. I will also replace the comwifi with a smartcom. So I have a few...

OK - Thanks for this. I already have someone who is happy to let me do the work, but you are right the last time I did some electrical work (running extra sockets to be incorporated into the downstairs ring) he explained to me how he wanted the work done and then checked and tested afterwards ...

Hi, Looking for some information on powering a log cabin but also a garage which is between the cabin and house. My intention is to run armoured cable to the pod via the garage. Once finished I will get an electrician to check, test and connect to the consumer unit. So the question is what...

I wonder whether anyone can help. About 5 years ago I replaced our cloakroom toilet and chose a Tavistock Structure Back to the wall toilet with soft-close lid. Since I installed it the soft close hasn't been that effective, so during lock-down I thought I'd remove the seat and see if there...

I have an issue with a tamper alarm on my wireless external sounder. Yesterday in the middle of the day the alarm went off on the keypad whilst alarm not set. After silencing it it told me I had a tamper alarm on the external sounder. After resetting it happened again at about 9pm. I checked...

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced same issue. I fitted a premier elite wireless system just over 3 years ago. After about a year I had a battery fault on the internal sounder. Took the 8 lithium batteries out and tested them 7 were at 1.7v or above, one was 0.1v. Now after...

Thanks - I will

OK so system is now back up and running. The only way I could get final 3 zones to be recognised was to re-learn each of them (a pain as one was the external sounder). The tamper fault seemed to be a red herring as once I had re-learnt that one there was no tamper alarm. My thanks to...

Hi Thanks for that. I'll investigate the tamper alarm tomorrow but I don't understand how the power issue will have caused a tamper alarm on a wireless unit. Also why three of the wireless PIR's / sounders don't now appear on Ricochet monitor. I'll report back on what I find tomorrow.

Sorry about the delay - we've been away for a few days. So the only fault displayed on the keypad is 'Zone 17 Tamper', preventing me from setting the alarm (tried omitting the zone but that didn't work). The power was off for about 2 hours and once i'd restored it all the power alarms...

We had a power blip this morning that tripped the RCD and was off for about 2 hours, the alarm panel battery held up but I had the normal indications and reset the panel. However the tamper alarm is new so I suspect that, in some way, was caused by power blip (alarm was fine yesterday and I...
