The Vaillant controls seem to do some Vaillant specific stuff - I'm tempted by them... What about the VRC 430 - is it worth the extra?

I am updating my Boiler to a Vaillant 937. I need to fit a programmable thermostat as I don't currently have one - is it best to fit a Vaillant thermostat like VRT 360? - wireless would be most convenient I guess but seems to be an extra £45... I am also fitting TRVs throughout. Any...

Looks like we'll probably be going with a 937 - my local plumbing specialists will match the internet price to within £30 once delivery is taken into account :wink: Will be nice to get it all properly sorted at last 8)

Are you this agressive in real life? - or just on the forums :lol: But yes, I agree it probably is worth checking exactly what he has installed... - If I need to run 3 showers simultaneously... :shock: Which i don't :lol:

It's true - I didn't know :lol: Trouble is, I went to a combi to free up space for a loft conversion - so the cylinder and water tank are gone now.

The guy (CORGI) who services my boiler reckons he has had installed a Combi that will run his 3 showers quite happily... :shock:

It's just we've got loads of other stuff going on at the mo... and delaying another potentially large outlay for a year or 2 might help LOL :lol:

:shock: By David I meant David937 - Bambergaspipe are you David as well? If I've upset you I appologise :shock:

Thanks for your comments David... We like the shower performance of the mains pressure hot water from the combi and purchased a Mira 405 (I think) for our old shower room that was designed to work well with combis - can't fault it. 8) It does drop a bit of water volume when you flush a...

Thanks... :lol: I know the internet causes problems for everybody trying to make a living selling stuff face to face :lol: The Vaillant option was proposed by a company working with the building firm we have in, in order to cope with the 2 showers and and an extra 3 rads that we were...

My current combi boiler is an Alpha CB24. Fitted about 7/8 years ago. The property is a large 5 bed dormer bungalow with currently a shower upstairs. We have 12 radiators. Due to house modifications taking place the Alpha needs to be moved from 1 wall to an adjacent wall and the gas pipe...

We are planning to re-fit our utility room. Part of the plan is to have a large ceramic Belfast sink in there for use of cleaning oven trays, painty stuff, degreasing motorcycle engines :wink: - don't tell the wife :lol: We plan to have a sprung spray head type heavy duty mixer tap also...

I had to go back and look :shock: ... - at least one is! :lol:

LOL :lol: It's quite a masterpiece of an action video isn't it? Thanks for commenting :roll: :lol: - I'm not plugging my own video by the way - I'm about 1/2 his age... and my wife is even lovelier :mrgreen: Any thoughts or advice on the pretty controllers???? Thanks 8)

I am needing a thermostat and programme control for my boiler. Does anyone know if the Honeywell Prestige is available in the UK and what sort of cost? It looks amazing :lol: http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/products/wireless/prestige/prestige_feature.html an old fellah doing...

Tony thanks for your quick response... 8) I know where you are coming from... But maybe the £23 quote will end up at £40+ by the time I get it ordered and delivered... It's only a switch to make or break a circuit at the end of the day - so I'd hardly call it a bodge to replace just the...

Hot water doesn't always turn on when requested - so we end up putting the central heating on when we need to run a bath or shower to get the boiler to fire up. Problem seems to be with the flow switch. I used to be able to take it of 'fiddle' and put it back & it would work again for a...
