Salus digital thermostat RT300 - any good?

[loziv]

Hi

We currently have a Plumb Centre analogue thermostat
http://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/en/hea...s/center-room-thermostat-analogue-230-v-16395


and are looking to replace it with a Salus RT300

Is the RT300 any good?

or would is it recommended to get a 24 hour or 7 day thermostat?

Not had many issues with Salus stuff. If you want have different days at different temperatures then you will need a 7 day one. if not then 24hr is ok.

With the wiring on the Salus RT300 I think it uses 2 wires, how will this work as the plumb centre one we currently has is using 3 wires?

The neutral should not be connected and terminated safely. If you tell us what colours are connected to which terminals on the existing one we can be more specific. It is an easy job.

Hi

This is what the wiring is like on the plumb centre thermostat we have at the moment

1 to L on Salus, 3 to SL on Salus and terminate 2 safely as it is not required.

Great thanks

Just before I purchase this - is this a good thermostat - just read some bad reviews about it on Amazon

Or are there any other recommended digital thermostats that I should look at.

I have seen the 7 day versions etc but I dont know if I need that functionality as the heating can be set by day and time from the control panel in the kitchen

Many Thanks

Personally I'd put every other make on the list above it. Salus would rank somewhere below using a frozen streak of p*ss for a thermostat.

Any suggestions?

fitted a wireless one on fri, had acouple of issues with the signal not being recieved but the customer wanted the cheapest option so that's what he got, it's not programmable though just a digital room stat

A digital thermostat I require but a wired one not wireless.

I am looking for a quality product so should I be looking at the Honeywell DT90E - what has put me off this is the loud clicking people report when its turning itself on and off.

Are there any other wired digital thermostats I should be looking at?
