    Vaillant EcoTec F22 error at night

    Assuming it’s a combi, what is the pressure in the radiator system? F22 is a low pressure code. If you’ve bled any radiators (often the highest one) without topping up the pressure may have dropped enough to cause the issue. I had this happen a couple of times and the pressure was ok and I put...

    Watching CCTV remotely on my Hikvision system

    I’d use a vpn server (Wireguard is excellent) on a compatible router or a Raspberry Pi.

    Worcester vs Vaillant vs Gloworm...

    Fine until the warranty ran out and because of numerous issues they gave me an extra year. Numerous pressure sensors, diverter valves and a new heat exchanger. System was flushed and inhibitor present but made no difference. Been running for 12 months with no issues so keeping fingers crossed...

    Worcester vs Vaillant vs Gloworm...

    Won’t have another Vaillant after lots of issues with our ten year old Ecotec but they appear to have resolved those in recent models. Round here installers like Baxi.

    A modern boiler would be a worthwhile investment and reduce your bills in my opinion.

    We insisted that our fitter drilled a hole through the brick wall and fitted the conduit through that.

    Toilet brush holder replacement

    I can recommend the Silicone wall mounted brush. I’d comes with a strong double sided mount. Doesn’t take up much space, looks good and is hygienic.

    Mains USB charger for small devices ???

    Think of a 240v socket in your house. It can provide any current from 0 to 13A without you having to worry about it. Presumably, you don't get paranoid when you plug in Christmas tree lights or a fan heater in the SAME socket!

    Clock radio sound quality

    I've found the Azatom sound quality, including bass, better than average for a small DAM radio. The I-Star in our bathroom is small and great but I note that it's no longer current, so the SoloB1 seems the equivalent.

    Vaillant eco tec 615 system boiler losing pressure

    I’ve concluded that Vaillant went through a bad time 8-12 years ago and their boilers during that window have more faults than the norm.

    Stopcock handle broken

    I’d save up until you can get a plumber to freeze the pipe and fit a new tap.

    WD40 on TRV pin or not?

    Lubricant won’t work. Use a very small mallet to repeatedly tap the pin until it springs out. Long term don't screw down the TRV unless you are prepared to open it every couple of months.

    Toilet seat removal

    Looks like a Geberit. Close seat and use Allen key behind the pin. I turned mine round to make access easier.

    Dash Cam recommendation

    Fitted an Anker Roav C1 five years ago to my Ioniq. Very happy with it. Wiring was straight forward... The rubber door seal was the most difficult part as it needs plying back with the supplied crowbar but it eventually went it. I almost routed the cable under the glove box but like the OP I...
