    To fit or not a secondary heating circulation pump

    That's exactly what I'm thinking jack - also this is why the installer might have suggested fitting a secondry heating ciculation pump - to shove more flow around and possibly force more heat quicker into this troublesome rad - he did say it may not solve it, but if it worked it may mean not...

    To fit or not a secondary heating circulation pump

    Yes they do jack - all but this naughty one in my above epic post - al other rads heat up quickly & are very hot to touch (even when TRV is set to 4 out of 6)....so in my opinion this is good right? - but this extra TV room stelrad is sluggish, slow to heat up, never too hot to touch, cooler at...

    To fit or not a secondary heating circulation pump

    The old boiler was a gloworm fuelsaver 55f that had been in situ before various extension work/extra rads etc were added to the orginal house design - this fed a range tribune premier 180ltr cylinder on a y plan set-up. In terms of what/who specified the new system, I suppose it could be...

    To fit or not a secondary heating circulation pump

    I see what you are driving at....whilst in principle agree with your approach - technically the installers have done everything as specified in the orginal heating quotation & by the book - so because I'm not entirely satisified with the overall heating performance ( and not the result of their...

    To fit or not a secondary heating circulation pump

    Thanks dangermouse - I've changed the boiler pump setting to (3) meaning always speed 2 I've set the rad dial temp on the boiler to max (75 degrees) Current flow temp is 75 and return is showing as 60....so 15 degree differential. There is no auto bypass fitted other than what's in...

    To fit or not a secondary heating circulation pump

    Thanks Mr Hailsham for your reply....I'll answer what I can now until I get home to check the flow & return temps. The pump mode has been changed from factory setting 2 to setting 0 - see below: d.19 Only in ecoTEC plus: Operating modes of the two-speed heating pump 0 = pre ignition...

    Time To Change My System

    Thank you guys for your valued inputs. Apologies for coming across as scrooge - as this is probably one of the larger expenditures many make (behind house / car / divorce / etc) - I just wanted to sense check that I'd get value for money overall & that the system spec would partially pay for...

    Time To Change My System

    Thanks John M - all ur posts raise a smile :) I'm tending to agree with you on this maybe a how much to fit approach may be the preferred option. Don't get me wrong...I'm not a tight@\**......I understand the need for the installer to make a profit, but within deemed reason (which will...

    Time To Change My System

    Thanks for that penpusher....seems I may need to be budgeting more than I initially expected - had a figure in mind around the 3.5k mark. If the installers do a full supply & fit, would many be willing to share some of the difference between the installers trade purchase costs versus the...

    Strange Radiator Problem

    The boiler has an in-built bypass - would this be it? Worse case scenario though - what would be the consequences of just simply leaving it as it is & just turning down the trv's to these two rads so as not to overheat the room in summer? Will it cause any issues being left alone or am I...
