    Wirquin Jollyfill toilet system continually overflowing

    Take it water continues to run into the pan? If you wedge the float left hand bit of the toilet in the upright postion water no longer enters the cistern but water escapes via the bit in the middle. If this is the case then perhaps a bit of crude under the dealing washer

    recommendations for shower pump

    First of all make sure you have a decent shower house some are about 6mm internal bore. Amazon do some goods ones for gravity systems. Also some shower heads are very restrictive. Next if you have a thermostatic shower then has someone put the pressure reducers in where they shouldnt have if on...

    Current opinion about Vaillant EcoTec Plus 428?

    Havent seen a 6 in action. It is all to do with the start up routine and how much heat can be dissapaited whilst the boiler fires at 80% of max load for 50 seconds. Maybe the 6 starts low and works its way up? However as long as you use the advanced controls then I do not see a problem with...

    Current opinion about Vaillant EcoTec Plus 428?

    Also if going pressurised then why 4 series it should be the 6 series which have a better turn down ratio.

    Current opinion about Vaillant EcoTec Plus 428?

    Zoning may be an issue think I would be looking at the approiate ebus controls from vaillant. With the vrc 470 you can djust the heat load to match cylinder for maximum efficency you need to use the VR10 on the cylinder so the boiler knows the temp of the cylinder rather than just calling for...

    Vaillant ectotec Cycling Problem

    did the op ever get to the bottom of this? I notice that honeywell controls were being used maybe the cm series with TP control this will almost certainly clash with the boiler logic. I have the new board in mine and it behaves much better. Still like to see the behaviour of one with a standard...

    Better programmable stat..

    I have had issues whereby the software of the boiler has a slow ramp up before putting any real heat out. Thus boiler waits 5mins before ramping up (flow temp not rising despite boiler fired at min rate) boiler finally fires at increased rate but logic of stat is at the max burn length so stat...

    Is 3 minutes slow for a cistern to fill?

    I would be looking to change the ballofix to full bore ballofix for those points where it is in-line with the cistern. The ultra low presuure diaphrams definately make a vast improvement, I had an issues in a house that was rented out, change to one of the low pressure ones and it filled much...

    LA have decided to bring in Mandatory LL licence

    Who is to say flyer was in with the reminder or even that the reminder was hand delivered by the company that was contracted to do so. My tenants also did not see the same flyer. Will be interesting for those Landlords that manage their properties from afar how would they know that they need to...
