Ah, I see what you are saying - but that's not me saying that. it's the dude who wrote that blog LOL! I agree with your analysis though, HOWEVER, while I can't comment on the zone valve closing during anti-cycling (simply because I have never experienced that) my pump DOES stop during...

@Johntheo5 thanks so much for this! My apologies for not being sufficiently clear: If I set D2 to default time of 20, you are correct, that according to the table, with a target of 60C, actual anti-cycling time will be 6. That's what I get in any case with D2 set to 10. HOWEVER, if I set D2 to...

@Johntheo5 – my big apologies, I should have been clearer that I was the one that set these. D0: 12 – yes, 12K otherwise I find that when the burner fires, it heats up faster than it can modulate back down – so I get a burst of about 15 secs and then nothing until.. D2: 10 – because if I set...

Oh thank you so much for this! It's an EcoTec Plus 837 and yes, I have an upstairs Bathroom towel rail that is always on - even though, as you say, the zone valve is closed (only opens when the timer calls for upstairs heating in the evening. Now, there is some weirdness - which will probably...

Thanks! So what would this by-pass typically consist of? I ask, because I have all UFH on the ground floor and normal rads upstairs (on a Y Plan). This was installed by a heating engineer (not me) as part of a refurb 11 years ago - and I am not aware of any components that could be deemed to be...

Two data points that may help: 1. I have had my system in for about 10 years now - with Ground floor all UFH and upstairs normal rads. 10 years is long enough that I have been able to experiment with one winter season running 24/7 - on the grounds that once you heat up the entire mass of the...

So, I just turned the mixer up to max, and control the flow temp at the boiler. In that way, I can dial it down to 60C max, which is how I get the above manifold temps. In any case, are you sure your mixer is, well, properly mixing? Just to be on the safe side, I bought a service kit...

I have had a similar challenge to you, so here are some top tips of things I literally last changed/adjusted in Sept: 1. Boiler is Vaillant Ecotec Combi. Despite what is said here AND all the Vaillant documentation, it just doesn't work when you set target temp for Return (as opposed to flow)...

Hold on - you say you have a "gravity feed system" so does this mean you have a hot water tank - where the water is heated in the tank via the heating circuit heat exchanger (basically a curly copper pipe running from top to bottom inside the H/W tank)? If you do have this, then check that the...

@mrrusty appreciate that - you have made my day! Right, I'll get cracking trying to find a manufacturer locally.

That is tempting, but it is only cloudy - no other damage - and as one of the panes is laminated, it would take a 747 to smash through it I suspect. Sunsquare (the new version after administration) still says that the glass can be replaced BUT I asked them to quote for a brand new...

So this is the challenge.. I am based in Wiltshire and there are three Double Glazing Repair specialists in the vicinity: blown units, replacement locks/hinges, that sort of thing. All said, that they just don't do this work. So, I will need to get a glazed unit made (but see above - that...

Unfortunately, I think I am about to answer my own question... I have just discovered the installation instructions for the Skyview, and while I presumed that this was a double glazed unit dropped into a frame at the top of the upstand, it is not. The entire upstand top, comprising of glazing...

This is a bit of a weird one: We have a 1000 x 1500 Sunsquare Skyview (both glazed unit and accompanying Skyview insulated upstand) installed in 2013. The glazed unit has blown such that: a) It seems to have lost it's thermal integrity and streams with condensation in the winter (didn't...

All, thanks for your responses: Good point about the inline fan - but I just don't have the space to mount it in the ceiling void. Creamola

Hi, I need to install an Island extractor hood. Looking around the net, it seems that there are only a few actual manufacturers - with everyone else just rebranding the same few. I came across the round hoods from Premier Range (www.premierrange.co.uk) which look quite interesting for...
