    Bypass when using Grundfos Alpha2 pump

    To MJN and all I have tried to send a reply to your personal message, but apparently I have to be a friend, or you do! I can't work out how to make friends (a long story tee-hee). Some of the help instructions on using this website are as bad as Vaillant manuals! Can anyone help me in...

    Bypass when using Grundfos Alpha2 pump

    Hailsham Thanks for that link! though it does not explicitly want one to use auto bypass in any 'proportional pressure', and I reckon the autoadapt section is a sort of complex combination of the 2 PP operation modes. As often you have given me work to do and calculations which I shall...

    Bypass when using Grundfos Alpha2 pump

    Agile Yes, but present issue is pump failure due to poor equipment specs, with inadequate output, and wasteful bypassing! smokebox

    Bypass when using Grundfos Alpha2 pump

    Yes, might just do useful thought but slower thwn solenoid actuation, and best of all is dumping hest through an already open circuit/zone as suggested by one of the regulars above. smokebox

    Bypass when using Grundfos Alpha2 pump

    Hi Picasso A previous poster noted this 'thermostatic,' and it was thought to be a typo for the usual pressure ABV. Interestingly enough on talking to a high level UK Grundfos technician, he did mention thermstatic valve as bypass, thogh for this specific purpose an almost instant response at...

    Bypass when using Grundfos Alpha2 pump

    My Lord Where do you find information that the pump will increase speed again if it has shut down to 1 Metre and then meets total closure of zones? I thought it would just churn away fruitlessly! smokebox

    Agile Haisham and mysteryman etc,! You will all be horrified to find I live on, AND on line with shaky on line connection from hospital. Agile The HE was partially blown by the crafty wiring from the 'expert' professional electrician because he knew better than me, and wired the pump to...

    Vaillant VRC 430f cycling issues - a solution?

    Joemar I have had an experienced vaillant installer today, but these difficult questions were beyond him, though he was very good and helpful in other rather rarified vaillant wiring matters concerning control of the DHW with the VR61 'mixer' as they call it. I have been ill and am to go...

    Vaillant VRC 430f cycling issues - a solution?

    Exocet To begin with (largely because of curious instructions I think) it is easy to be frightened off the VRC430. This is especially true off the inconsistent wording in translation, quite apart from the opaque "meanings " and "descriptions" of functions, but actually this is really only...

    Vaillant VRC 430f cycling issues - a solution?

    Hi Joe, it is very early days for me, but I seem to get better , less cycling, behaviour with VRC 430 and VR81 both in "thermostat" mode, contrary to my initial thoughts. The manual is astonishingly opaque! Trouble is it is too warm just now, and today I am forbidden from fiddling with the...
