    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    I've checked all the easy things now, all the switches are OK and the temp sensor is OK. Just at the point where the water gets hot and the gas flames should start modulating it turns the flames off completely. Turning the tap off and on again starts the sequence all over again. Same...

    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    The pin is staying out and making the switch, it doesn't have a green demand for water led...I'll make sure I get an engineer :wink:

    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    I filled the system with X800 for a couple of days and have now drained/refilled the system a few times and refilled and added X100. The water coming out was dark with a few ( very few ) tiny black particles in it but nothing major. Problem is still there, I going to test the APS switch...

    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    Thanks Tony, I'll give your advice a go and let you know if things improve. How do you add chemicals to a pressurised system without the use of an injector?...or is that a trade secret? oh I guess you use a powerflush :roll: Ideally I would like to add the chemicals via the top up loop...

    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    Pressure increased to 1.2bar now. I have noticed that sometimes the boiler fan comes on and the gas switches on but when it ignites the led only comes on for a fraction of a second and then the gas switches off and the fan stops...not sure if this is another problem. Would it be worth me...

    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    Thanks, I did a search on the web but there's quite alot of conflicting information out there. Also I forgot to add, when we got back from holiday the pressure guage on the boiler was reading zero, I have repressurised it back up to just over 0.5 bar.

    Baxi Eco 80 Hot Water Problem.

    Hi, just got back after a week away and there's a problem with our boiler. If you turn on the hot water the boiler ignites and the water gets hot. After 20-30 secs the boiler switches off, the water gets cold, sometimes the boiler re-ignites sometimes it does not. Turning the tap off...

    Industrial machine single phase 30mA trip keeps tripping.

    I would think it must have, I'll check for the ce mark... Yes there is a CE mark on the machine and a declaration of conformity in the drawings.

    Industrial machine single phase 30mA trip keeps tripping.

    It has an RCBO because that's what the machine designer put in it. Wiring is all inside a panel except for 240V supply to some vibrating bowls which are wired in normal 3 core flex type cables. All separate parts of the machine are individually earthed back to the panel. We don't appear...

    Industrial machine single phase 30mA trip keeps tripping.

    Hi, we had a bespoke machine made for us. The main protection device is a 20A RCBO with 30mA sensitivity. It keeps tripping out because the combined leakage current of the machines devices is exceeding 30mA. What options are open to us to make sure the machine is adequately protected...

    Changing light switch to brass

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but is there a specific regulation in BS7671 that states you should use plastic screws/screw covers? It makes sense since the metal screws could become live but I have never seen anyone use plastic.

    Re-joining fairy light wire

    I remember the way my dad powered our mains fairy lights. He stripped 2 inches of the cable outer from each wire and then wrapped the copper ends around the T.V.'s plug pins then plugged the T.V. back into the wall :shock:

    The best sat nav

    I have only had experience of a TomTomGo300. It gets me where I need to go, that's the main thing. What I don't like is the way it tells you to 'turn left' when it means 'bear left' and 'bear right' when it means 'turn right'. This often means I start indicating when I don't need to...

    Megger caused motor to explode!

    Assuming it is a standard 3 phase motor you would megger it at 500V not 1000V...still, you wouldn't expect it to explode. I guess the oil was contaminated with conducting material, possibly metal filings. Way to gain experience :lol:

    Council money invested in Icelandic Bank

    £50m in the bank?! Shouldn't they have spent it on things like, oh I don't know, street lighting,police,education...or maybe they need that huge sum of money earning interest to pay their inflated wages. My local council chairperson is on £200,000 a year :shock:
