Hi yes it's the greenstar heatslave ! now then there is a lot of noise coming from it when the diverter is pushed manually over gurgling etc but soon settles down (there's no air elsewhere on the system as AAVs have been fitted in all the right places) customer says that the pumps been running...

Hi all - I have the misfortune of having to work on this boiler this week, it has some "issues" which I hope someone will be able to shed some light on. No.1 Circulating pump runs 24/7 regardless of wether there's call for heat or DHW it just runs constantly ? MI say's it should shut down I even...

Hi oilhead thanks for your reply - I can't get over to the customer till Fri so I'll have a look at what you have suggested and report back.

Thanks john - care to enlighten me on your opinion ?

Have to agree with simond on that. Knackered :cry:

Have been asked to pipe up a multi fuel boiler for someone - I have very limited/no experience of these things and the customer already has the flue connected. It's rated at 27000 btu and has two flow's and two return inlets and outlets at the back of it, as this is going to be connected to a...

Hi boilerman2 once again thanks for your helpful reply - A place called Wainfleet st Mary - and no it doesn't have a solenoid coil - I will go through that list of suspects I did have my doubts about the circ pumps (has 2). There are no "proper Boiler maintenance engineers" I am the "plumber"...

Still doesn't answer my question about earth leakage does it.

Thanks terry - no one else in this area wants the job - I do have limited experience and am willing to learn but they don't teach everything at "school" and if I walk away from every job because there's something I don't quite understand where will I get ? I certainly wont be able to come on...

Hi Agile thanks for your reply - no is the answer to your questions but I will - when you say "earth leakage current" how would that be measured and what componets what that include ?

Hi Boilerman thanks for your reply - the problem with the selectos burner is that it keeps tripping the rcd in the consumer box I thought that maybe a new control box might be the answer which is a Danfoss 573h but have not had much luck in tracking one down yet - any thoughts on that ?

Hi, got a customer with an old TSO boiler(20-25), it has a selectos D42 burner and is in need of replacement, however as budgets are tight I suggested that instead of replacing the whole thing maybe a replacement burner would be a cheaper short term option. I read on here from one of you more...

Hi outinthestix went back today and removed the plate that I carefully replaced in the end of the flue - fired the boiler replaced the cover and ...... everything ok :D so conclusion is 1. I dont know everything despite some very expensive training ! 2. is there old B/F's out there that have a...

Could you recommend a good sealant for this as parts for this boiler seem to be non existant -

Hi outinthestix thanks for your reply - yes thought so couldn't understand why the plate was loose any way didn't seem to have been spot welded in place anywhere so just put it back in as far as I thought - it has a small hole in it for sampling there's no where in the boiler to sample from this...
