Landlord came round, felt the radiators and said "they are hot the heating is working. it's a ground floor flat it will be cold. Just turn up the thermostat it will get warmer". Took some time to get them to agree to send a boiler engineer round. Also seems that the bathroom extractor is a...

To clarify, the i14 return sensor in the boiler menu was 55-56°C, but the actual radiator surface was only 42°C. I have never seen the i14 drop below the 55C. Since it's staying above 54°C, I assume I am getting zero condensing efficiency? I'll wait for colder weather to try 70°C flow, today...

I have a digistat thermostat, it modulates the boiler firing up and down as the target nears to stop it from overshooting, so yes it takes longer to get to the target in very cold weather.

Good morning and thank you for that info with the Maths! It's much warmer outside today so the boiler won't work so hard, I dropped the output flow to 60C the actual readings 15 mins of running were output flow 63.5C return flow 55C Pump i16 is at 100% and i17 is 30%, radiator still managed to...

Thank you for responding sir! 2.1E is set to 4. Boiler output flow is set to 66C though varies around that. When boiler return flow temp i14 is 58C then i16 is 92% and i17 is 32%. When return flow temp i14 reaches 60.5C then i16 is 96% and i17 is 35%

Hi, I have moved into a 2 bed flat built in the 90s and trying to figure out why I heating problems even though the central heating and boiler "works" something is not quite right. There is a separate issue of a communal extractor system always pulling air out of the bathroom which I will ask...

I'm going to see whether I can get the 'bomb' locally, otherwise a more specialist spare part. Don't know why the guy who came did not suggest just changing the 'bomb'! cheers

Aha - many thanks! I did a google search an I understand more about syphonic toilets now! And I found in the cistern lid that I have a Balterley Bathrooms, Vitreous China, Carina II toilet which according to postings on other sites is a syphonic. So what is my next step - try to get a...

The toilet is probably about 20 years old - I don't know what a syphonic pan is. Cistern water level is fine.

I was away and my wife called in a plumber as the water would rise to the top of the bowl then drain slowly away. I've no idea what the plumber did - perhaps poked around with a wire or used a plunger - nobody was watching him. In the end he said the toilet was worn out??? It is a...

Well actually yes I was getting pixellation (if that is what blocky pictures are) on some channels, gradually over time it was more and more channels. Sky came and replaced the box, which was ok for 24 hours then the same happened again, so they replaced the box again, same problem so they...

Thanks for the replies, some useful info! cheers

As this post got no answers I can only assume that there is really no difference between any filter manufacturers or that, like petrol, all filters really come from the same place!

Hi, I want to fit an undersink water filter with tap but am getting confused as to which is a good make and what really needs to be filtered as there seem to be too many options! I used to have a springflow but have just moved to a house that still has lead pipes and from what I can see...

Hi any advice on this would be appreciated please, I have a Franke stainless steel sink with 2 holes feeding one mixer. I want to add a filtered water tap. There isn't much flat space to fit a new drinking water tap without invading drainer space but if its not difficult to put a new hole in...

I've moved into a house with solid walls, there are a lot of radiators on the external walls - has anyone used sempatherm radiator panels - what difference have you seen with them? Cheers

Nobody answered your post - did you ever find out or use it - I'm looking into using it myself.

Thanks for the info - should I hold off on the cylinder thermostat too?

I've moved into a house and found the following setup - probably all around 25 years old or more.... * Ideal E type CF Boiler floor standing, with integral Myson unit 2 pump * SOPAC thermostat * Landis and Gyr programmer, don't know which model see picture * Approx 90cm Hot water...
