    Valiant Ecotec Plus 637 radiators not heating up fully

    because the boiler is so oversized, when it ramps up to max power the differential between flow and return becomes too great and it either ramps down or more often ramps down and stops and then goes into a waiting mode for 5 mins before repeating the cycle. Try reducing the power in D0 down to...

    Glowworm hx24 doesn't seem to be at full power

    same as with vented system. the boiler won't know about! or you would use an sxi boiler which is a system boiler.

    Glowworm hx24 doesn't seem to be at full power

    Hxi is a heat only so no pressure sensor. But it could give f22 if it doesn’t detect enough or too greater temp diff when it first fires. My bet would be pump speed down.

    Oil Fired Boiler Problem!!

    i would first check the filter a the tank, followed by the next filter, then the tiger loop and then at the boiler. Are you certain you rang out of oil? it could be that the fire valve has activated and then you will not get any oil flow. If it has you should be able to reset it. one type is...

    danesmoor 15/19 no power to oil solenoid

    follow the fault finding flow chart. power to control box, then power to motor followed by photocell check for false light, if ok then power to ignition and power to solenoid. My guess is either control box or photocell ( or cable to photocell)

    Firebird Enviromax condensate pump

    I service over 30 of this model with plastic traps and have no problems. But it does require them to be cleaned properly and the trap put back on correctly along with the baffle plate the correct way round or the trap can melt.

    Firebird Enviromax condensate pump

    power to the condensate pump is 230v and is live when there is power sent to fire the burner. the condensate pumps can block and stick but can be stripped apart cleaned and they will work fine again. The flue ways on these need to be thoroughly cleaned with plenty of liquid cleaner(DUAL X) or...

    Valiant Ecotec Plus 637 radiators not heating up fully

    as you have the system 637 boiler the canoe filter in the boiler return pipework is most likely to be blocked with the amount of crud on the filter and it could have also caused the automatic bypass to be stucking open. A quick drain down of the system wouldn't do any harm and then clean the...

    Radiator air locked?

    lockshields can be on either flow or return. They are bi directional these days. We normally set the rads with lockshield valves open 1 to 1.5 turns open as a starting point and then adjust afterwards

    How can i connect a pump to the incoming water mains?

    Just use a mainsboost pump. These are wras compliant with a max of 12lt/min pumping ability. if flow is greater than 12lt then unit doesn't pump. But when the flow slows down it will then pump and boost pressure by around 1bar
