Forgot to add, the important thing is getting the return temp as low as possible if you want the boiler to condense more. The lower the flow the lower the return. For me the boiler is set to 50C. If the house remains too cool just turn up the boiler, as that will maintain the drop access the rads.

I found for me it was impossible to achieve a 20C drop. I settled for 12C in the end as the bottom half of the radiators stayed cold with a 20C drop. Now the tops are very warm while the bottoms are cool but not cold. After a new boiler install and a magnaclean my rads were all over the place...

Assuming the boiler can modulate why would you want to install a hive that can’t modulate the boiler?

Look on youtube. There are many videos on the subject

I have the same problem with my U.K. manufactured bath. The side panel is made from an inferior plastic that is not colour fast. When I got on to the manufacture they were not interested and said it was outside warranty even through it was going yellow inside the warranty.

If you end up with a combi in the loft suggest they put a filling loop and pressure gauge in the airing cupboard so you can keep an eye on it and can top the pressure up without having to climb into the loft.

Cable should have been a drip U bend so the entry is from below.

For dosing I use my Magnaclean. Just turn off the 2 valves, sponge out the water and pour in inhibitor. Run for a couple of minutes and then repeat for the second litre.

Supporting UK jobs should alway be a consideration

I have an aeration shower head that outputs 5 litres a minute of hot water according to the boiler with a smidgen of cold water added. We do the dishes at 42C but that is too hot for the shower. Got to say no one is complaining about the shower flow that has the added bubbles to mask the actual...

Except you have no idea what their family requirements are. Heat only boilers can’t be turned down below around 60c due to the possibility of legionaries disease. They will provide a hot tank of water whether it is needed or not and cannot offer an independent temperature to the central...

Plenty of boiler installers on YouTube. Check out Alan Hart who also does boiler reviews.

It's a free app by Govee that goes with the Govee thermometers. I bought 2 bundles under two email addresses to get £10 off around 6 weeks ago. I only paid £54 for the 4 of them but they have now shot up. https://uk.govee.com/collections/thermo-hydrometer

No heating now for maybe 5 days. House temperature at 22:03 is 18.5C according to the stat. Outside is 9.4C. On the days that the heating is switched on is more to do with testing it than needing it as it has only be on for the odd hour.

They all have UK manufacturing plants. My boiler was made in Hull.

That day is was 1.62Kw or 0.14m3. It can vary up to 3Kw or 30p at today prices, depending on shower requirements of the 4 of us. The aeration shower head makes a difference and the 42C HW temperature. It is the heating that is going to be a killer. On the 14th the boiler used 4.59Kw for...

I do use my smart meter for daily stats plus I have 4 Wi-Fi enabled thermometers that I really love that complements the Halo but are not part of the Halo. Garden

No, nothing really. I don’t use geolocation but I have switched on the heating while down the pub. Critical thing was to rebalance the system as all my previous set up was way out. To be honest the heating hasn’t been on much since our boiler swap. I did consider weather compensation but...

I haven’t seen a plume yet, I assume that has something to do with the return temperature and the mild weather. At the moment the heating is switched off so I can’t recheck. The boiler does not show the flue temperature but does show the return temperature In a menu which is displayed as a...
