What a load of absolute tosh

What a load of absolute tosh

Maybe? But that is not a helpful comment, how about you laying out how you would wire the devices, assume @98webp does not want to alter plumbing, so electric options only, how would you get it to work?

Or are you a suck through the teeth guy who just walks away without helping?

I have already told him in great detail the correct way to do it

I may have missed where you have told him, all I can find is fit 3 two port valves and change to S plan, I can't find anywhere that you explain how to make it work with the existing plumbing. I also think S plan is the best option if he can get the plumber to change it, but as an electrician I have to work with the mess plumbers leave behind them, rarely will they admit they got it wrong, so have to find a way to make it work.

Looking forward to see your method.

Why bodge it.

I will agree plumbing is wrong

Sort the plumbing then wire it correctly as Ian has said on numerous occasions. Don't over think it.

The plumber is fitting the 2 x port valves so it will be changed to an S Plan. Thanks for everyone's input.

If anyone has a diagram for the wiring that would be appreciated. Alternatively I've found a few online which should aid me.

Thanks again

It is very simple the demand for each circuit goes to the brown wire on the corresponding valve and all the grey wires connect together and all the orange wires are also connected and bring the boiler on

Thanks, I'm sure ill figure it out if its that simple. All the best.
