Hi there
We’ve recently installed a new Alpha Etec Plus 33kw Combi boiler. However, we won’t get hot water unless central heating is put on for at least 15mins. If we put CH on and run the tap straight away, we will get an error “E43” on the boiler.
We have had the engineer from Alpha out to inspect the boiler and found no faulty with it.
The installer has been out and noted it’s to do with the pipe size and that there’s too many bends in the pipe run before it gets to the boiler, and advised that we change the pipe from 22mm to 28mm. (But this will mean we have to lift the flooring, floor boards etc and trace the pipe run!)
Does anyone have the same issue, or could anyone think of any other possibly cause other than pipe work sizes?
Thanks
