Ah thanks! I never noticed that as my bookmark takes me straight into the Combustion Chamber, where those links are missing. Mike

I may be being dense but how does one list just the threads one has posted in? Many thanks. Mike

Well I'm impressed. Did you start off by photocopying the board?

Seems unlikely to me. 2000kWhrs at say 15p each is £300 a year in 'free' electricity. I have the sneaky feeling that in order to generate this leccy more gas will be burned than an ordinary condensing boiler would use, substantially offsetting the £300 of 'free' leccy. Energy cannot...

No it isn't! The heat exchanger on a Solo HE is cast iron. (Apologies for dragging up a dead thread, but I hate to see something wrong on the internet!) Mike

Having had a scan through the manual I can only see two components capable of limiting the water flow (apart from scale in the heat exchanger, which we have discounted due to the water softener). 1) The adjustable flow limiter (or DHW manual flow limiter - the manual appears to use both terms...

Excellent, thanks Jasper! Reading your link, step 19 in the installation procedure says max temp is factory set to 45 degrees C, and how to adjust this. I'll adjust these showers up a bit and see what difference it makes, if any. Cheers, Mike

Thanks for the replies! 52 degrees is considered a considered safe max temp for a hot water supply IIRC. Does anyone know if these Quartz Digital mixers are capable of delivering 100% hot only, or do they always mix in a proportion of cold? Thanks, Mike

I agree with Tony. Sounds to me as though the boiler is working correctly and only 'cutting out' once fully hot. This is probably an old-style system where the hot water heats up by natural convection circulation, implied by the fact the hot water still works. The rads on the other hand are...

Bit of background first. I attended a Powermax 140 boiler yesterday producing only warmish water and fixed it with a new blender valve. I set the new valve to deliver hot water at 52 degrees C. On testing the two Aqualisa Quartz showers my customer found they still didn't run as hot as they...

The yellow wire senses the presence of water at the terminal where it joins the condensate trap. If the condensate trap or drain is blocked, the wire senses this and prevents the boiler from running and filling up the whole combustion chamber with condensate! Has any of your visiting...

[/url] Brilliant. Thank you very much! Amusing prices though aren't they? £82.25 for a 800mm x 400mm single convector, blimey! No wonder no-one stocks them. Still, the customer is paying, and it's loads quicker to fit like-for-like new rads instead of mucking about changing the...

Thanks for the suggestion GasMan, I can't see the Compact range of steel panel rads mentioned on the site whose link you gave. Every Kermi product except the Compact range! I'll ring them tomorrow to see if they keep the Compact range. Cheers, Mike

Thanks for the suggestion Kev. Tried that and amazingly they could not help. Hence my question here. Cheers, Mike

Can anybody suggest a merchant that stocks Kermi Compact steel panel radiators please? I have a customer with about 20 or so and they are replacing them one at a time. I'm based in Reading, Berkshire. Cheers, Mike

Sounds to me like lack of circulating water, especially as it's intermittent, possibly caused by a blocked cold fill pipe. They typically block inside the tee fitting where the fill pipe joins the system once the system is a decade or two in age. If it IS blocked, then the fix is to drain, cut...

I'd be interested to know why the new pump was fitted, and if it worked afterwards. At what point did this problem start? Did it evolve gradually or did it one day just stop working? The noise sounds to me as though it is the pump air-locking, so I think you need to establish WHY the system...
