I'm in need of a solar filling station... Does anyone know where I can hire one or is there some kind soul out there, no too far away from RH7 postcode that would be willing to lend/rent me theirs for a day?

In a Worcester manual I have it quotes maximum condensate production rates of 1lpm for a 12 kW, 2lpm for 24 kW. This is probably calculated from how much H20 is produced from burning gas at that rate. If you want to minimise condensate production, turn your boiler thermostat up to Maximum...

I've just checked out the Glow-worm website and although they have downloads I can't find one for a 30Si Your best bet might be to call them and ask them to send you one.

NOt really on topic, but I noted the comment about the way Worcester's discharge their condensate. They do it batches, of about 50cc? at a time is it? The Flexicoms seem to produces a continuous trickle and are much more prone to icing up, or so it seems to me

Of course, Agile is right. If you can't prove yourself competent, it's illegal for you to open up the combustion chamber or work on the APS. There are plenty of posts in these forums about the issue and what constitutes "proving competence". I hope my comment may help you avoid some teeth...

I get a lot of condensation on the inside of my windscreen after it's been raining. I can't find any damp on any of the carpets. Anyone got any ideas of where I could look for the leak.. It's very annoying, particularly in this freezing weather!

Sounds like the air pressure switch isn't proving to me. Could be the APS itself or could be a tired fan not running fast enough to operate the switch.

As Grouch says, the two you suggest are very different boilers. If you're replacing a Suprima then you have a heat only conventional boiler. Replacing it with the Vaillant Ecotec 6xx would be fine. It's a system boiler, so likely you would be getting rid of your existing feed and expansion...

If it's lighting it's unlikely to be the APS, has to be something to do with flame detection. If the APS didn't make, the boiler would never light. I have seen a problem where the HT lead to the ignition electrode was broken. The spark could still jump the break in the conductor within the...

I had a problem with the ignition electrode ceramic insulation being cracked on the same boiler (I had only installed it 4 months previously.) So the spark never made it as far as the tip and hence no ignition. I can't recall if you can see the electrode tips through the sight glass. If you...

Anyone know what make pump Ideal put in this boiler? Looks like it might be Wilo from the picture in the manual.

Anyone know/ have an opinion on whether you can install an LPG appliance (boiler) in a plant room whose floor is 2 ft below ground level? It's a small "boiler house" in a barn conversion. All I can find in the CITB G18 book is that "LPG appliances are not allowed to be installed in cellars or...

Lol, how many cold cups of tea do I drink? Im far to involved with what I'm doing to drink tea.... Unless it becomes a real head scratcher.. and I ususally reach for a cigarette.

I've had a TPI 712 Flue gas analyser for three years now. If anyone is less than happy with theirs please respond and I'll tell more about the problems I've had with mine.Mine haven't been major and TPI have been OK, though I wouldn't say falling over backwards to resolve the issues I've had...

Well technically it's a win but with all the effort and time involved I think my hourly rate probably fell to about £5/hr. Still, it's the principle. Going to the law is always going to be something of a lottery. I had to take a company that used me as a subbie to court earlier in the...

Well I have to own up to being in the CC/CCC (course cowboy/career change chancer) category and thought I'd put in my ha'penny's worth I got retrained under a GWINTO (Gas and Water Industry National Training Organisation) scheme. A Public/Private partnership funded 50/50 by British...

Sounds to me like you should get the installer back. With plume kits, you can put the flue terminal almost anywhere you want and the condensate disposal is clearly not satsfactory. Best of luck getting a response though. Sounds like a bit of a cowboy and as such, once he has your money, he'll...
