    boiler turning off in HW only mode

    all seems fine playing with lever - defaults to HW position, motor moves to mid point or CH only position, can feel movement. Drayton lifestyle mid position valve - one of the older variants with non-removeable control box. (boiler is an ideal standard, (going from memory, RS?) ~15 years old)...

    boiler turning off in HW only mode

    In hw only mode, increasing the hw stat on the side of the cylinder has no effect as the hw never reaches the set temperature. Turning it down, the stat turns off the pump as it should.

    boiler turning off in HW only mode

    Evening experts! Grateful for advice. Gas CH and HW system, connected via motorised mid position valve to pump then to boiler (conventional setup I presume) . When we have CH running alone, or both CH and HW running, all is fine - boiler runs, heats up radiators and hot water - nice...

    Visonic powermax plus remote telephone access

    No idea whether there's a problem here or if I'm doing something stupid. Recently installed a Visonic Powermax + alarm system, and connected it up to the phone line last night. As instructed ... 2 wires to pins 2 and 5 of the bt phone line. The alarm will phone me when events are triggered...

    painting moulded doors - gloss v satin and satin confusion

    So we could decide how to paint all our doors, we painted one in one coat gloss, one in satin - very little difference in the sheen, although the quality of the finish was much better with satin being was so much thinner paint. Having painted 4 out of 5 doors, when the last one was painted...
