No it stays at around 1.5 - In fact I don't think I've had to top it up.

Haha, yes. I even bought a thermometer and saw that the pipe to which the magnetic filter is attached is around 15 to 20 degrees lower that the other pipe.

It’s possible, house is 1930s built.

Hi, all of our radiators were replaced and all are using 15mm pipes that come in from the bottom. After the power flush it was treated with Sentinel X100 Inhibitor.

But everyone who comes to repair this say that the water looks clean.

Can you recommend anything?

Hi there, I have Trappex Centramag

Boiler installed by previous owner of house in February 2015. New radiators and system flush when I bought house in September 2015. November 2018 Hot water started fluctuating, power flush done and HEX cleaned with acid. March 2019 Hot water started fluctuating, HEX replaced and Pump replaced...

Though a bit of additional information, when we moved into our home, the boiler was only 6 months old - however when we changed the old radiators for new ones, the water that came out of the heating system was like treacle. The guy who done the work was astounded and said that it looks like...

When you say flow, I'm assuming you're referring to outward (in layman speak)? The filter is installed at the return - at least none of the engineers have said it's been installed incorrectly.

Hi there, I have a Glow Worm Easicom 28 (not by choice). For the third time now my hot water temperature fluctuates, the first time it happened I had an engineer come over who done a complete power flush and said the water was actually quite clean, in fact when I was watching the water coming...

So a quick update as to the S53 situation, after following ScottishGasMan's advice, I lowered the d.0 setting to 15kW and wow, what a difference it has made, no more S53 errors, house warms up nicely and I've noticed that the boiler hardly turns on anymore, before it was on for hours struggling...

Thank you! Will post an update in the next few days with how things progressed.

ScottishGasMan, I'm heating 8 radiators (7 of which are type 22, 1 is a type 11) plus 2 towel rails. I've been researching this whole heating a house stuff for over a month now due to this S53 issue and so calculated the amount of BTUs I need per room using an online BTU calculator based on room...

Thanks muggles. I've been experimenting further, I don't think it is the heat exchanger as the boiler is producing some serious heat when I touch the outbound pipe from the boiler, however the one that is going into the magnetic cleaner is cold - it is this differential that is causing the...

Hi there, I've been going through the forum for the past few weeks and have read every single S53 thread on here. My boiler, an Easicom 28, when it starts up heats the radiators very slowly and takes ages to reach the target flow temperature. I discovered that it was throwing up a code S53. I...

Sorry, I meant to say half hot instead of half full. I balanced the radiators to ensure an even distribution of heat around the house. I've noticed it takes the boiler around 60 mins to get to the target flow temperature.

Hi all, When I moved into my current home, the previous owner had installed a brand new Glow Worm boiler 6 months earlier. However, as part of our renovations, we decided to change the radiators to brand new ones. When we drained the system, the water came out jet black. Any remaining water in...
