Hi all, Does anyone know if it is the normal start up procedure for an Ecotec 838 to do an S.97 check everytime before it fires up the heating ? It doesn't do this when just using hot water It seems to be doing the following: heating mode --> pump overrun --> self test water pressure sensor...

Hmm I guess it might be, it is due for a service anyway so can get him to fit them at the same time. Would be handy if I can find out the right part number ahead of time though. Pretty naff design really though why on earth would they use rubber pipes, obviously it will fail at the joints over...

Hi All, So one of the rubber pipes are leaking on my boiler :-( I have read there is a copper pipe modification kit to replace the 2 x 4 inch rubber pipe. Does anyone know the part number or have a link so I can purchase one ?? Many thanks Jason

Hi all, Is anyone able to give any advice as to why my dishwasher has decided to stop drying properly and what may need to be replaced to fix it ? The water is getting hot during the cycle - there is plenty of steam if you open the door mid cycle No water is left at the bottom of the machine...

Hi Dan, Thanks, post amended to reflect this. Cheers Jason

Hi, So I have opted to get a Nest. I could do with some guidance on how to connect the Heatlink to the boiler. Obviously I can't use the Ebus as Nest do not support Ebus. So I believe I need to use connector 3,4 & 5 on the boiler. Based on reports of awful install's of Nest's by 1 of...

Ok so the Nest won't cut it as pretty as it is, functionality comes first. We often stay at another property at weekends a couple of hours from home and would like to be able to turn on the heating when we are on our way home to warm the house up. Also during the week we do not return from...

Hi All, So I have an Ecotec 838 and have a the VRC430 wall mounted. I would like to have the web functionality of the Nest but believe it has a few downsides. 1) The Nest as far as I know just switches the boiler on/off and does not modulate the burner. 2) The weather...

Hi Richard, So for a partition wall that we will be build for our wet room we just use these instead of plasterboard and the 12.5 mm ones are thick enough ? What about for our existing solid walls would the 6mm be thick enough ? Best regards Jason

Hi Richard, Many thanks for all the responses. One last question then, what thickness of Marmox should I use on the recess I was thinking 20mm ?? Jason

Hi Richard, Yep same tiles for floor and walls, have checked with Impey and they advise that they are not an issue for the Linearflo. They actually said larger format tiles actually work better due to less likelihood of pooling but are a bit more difficult to cut/lay than mosaic. I will...

Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply, The tiles (as above) are 600mm x 600mm x 9mm porcelains, I will be using 22mm ply. The tile cutter price you see is retail hire, I can get it a lot cheaper as father in law has an account. I am not sure on the size etc of joists but will check...

Hi All, I am going to be starting a wetroom soon with the help of my father in law (who is a experienced builder) and am after some extra advice. I have the following products, Impey Linear Flo 1000 x 1000, Tilesafe kit, Majestic Monaco Shower screen, Grohe Wireless High Pressure, Grohe...

Hi All, Finally our new boiler is due to be installed next week just want to make sure I do not miss anything. The engineer is on the Gas Safe website and have used him before to fit another appliance and is local. He is ultra through and a likes to follow rules to the letter. He has even...

yeah fair point, just trying to save some moeny. Saying that this could have ended in tears costing more if we had a flood. New shower it is then.

Was thinking if the elbows are my only issue with retaining the exisiting shower that I could make some new ones that would not blow off. Think I will speak to the father in law later, see what he thinks. By the sounds of it we will have to replace the shower. I suppose if I got another...

well I will have a look around to see what I can find then. Father in law is a builder so, he can assist. I just know these tiles are a mega pain to cut when not on the wall let alone on the wall (we did the tiling you see). Just thinking out loud, could I replace the elbows with...
