Heating Tweaks

Dear All
I have just fitted a Honeywell CM707 Programmable Thermostat and from reading the Honeywell literature and various website forums wondered, if it was Safe or worth adjusting the boiler cycle rate down to 3 cycles per hour to help reduce the amount of times the boiler fire once at the set point temp.
My boiler is a Potterton Netaheat Profile 60E Gas Boiler
Thanks you

It is safe.

The default setting is 6 cycles per hour, will give you bit more accurate room temperature control over 3 cycles per hour, I don't see any point on reducing your boiler over all run time.

TPI shouldn't be used with SE type boilers due to potential back end rot..

Jesus, had to search "back end rot" in the CC to understand it.

Please can you enlighten me as to what back end rot is . Thanks

In addition to possibly reducing my cm707 setting down to 3 cycles per hour (once I find out if back end rot is serious) should I increase the min boiler on time to say 3mins to help reduce the sensitivity of the on/off switching of the stat.
Sorry to be thick.
