temperature

Hi all, I have got a new Vaillant EcoTec 418 installed recently and noticed that the set hot water temperature is being ignored, instead it gets generated by flow temperature. Also diagnostics menu says that DHW hours are 0. Could this be a result of an incorrect wiring? I'd like to set DHW...

LEDs are so much better now than they used to be but I can't seem to find a bulb that can be varied between evening and daytime light. 2700K/4000K would be suitable, more variability would be a bonus. Ideally the bulb would also be dimmable or it could even combine dimming and colour change...

Hi. I am new to underfloor heating. I am in a new build. I have two pumps feeding two manifolds connected in parallel and feeding two different ground floor levels. There is a hot/cold mix dial for each so supply hot water is diluted to a lower temperature as I understand. While balancing, I set...

Hi, I've got a combi boiler. I was thinking of turning down the temperature of the heating on the boiler (i.e. on the boiler itself not the temperature on the thermostat). Reading up on this it sounds like setting this as low as possible is the best option in terms of reducing gas usage - to try...

I have a Baxi Duo-Tec 33 Combi ErP combi boiler and it works well enough. The only problem is the time it takes to reach hot water temperature. When I turn on the hot water it can take from 30 seconds to one minute to reach full flow temperature. Sometimes it seems to almost reach temperature...

Hi all, I recently (4 weeks) ago had tiles laid on an anhydrite screed floor. I am now able to put the UFH on 'minimum' for one week and then slowly increase the temperature. The TMV on the manifold has 20 deg as it's lowest setting (20 - 70 is the range). However, my stat is sitting...

Hi - I have a Zanussi zbb27650SA split fridge/freezer. The fridge is fine but the freezer is not getting cold enough. This started with the LED warning symbol and alarm coming on and showing a high temp of 2 degrees. I've removed the draws from the freezer and the fan at the top was spinning...

Hi there First time using this forum so many thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide, it's very much appreciated! I'm in England - cold winters, warm summers. I have a new shed (installed December) which, for the last two days, has dripped onto the floor from the ceiling for five...

I have a Worchester boiler and just got the Salus ST60WBC thermostat which I have connected. However, it works in reverse order. Heating only comes on when the temperature set on the RF is lower than the room temperature (instead of the other way around). What can I do to sort this issue.

Hello, I hope everyone is well. I am having some issues with my Creda Digimix Shower. It works but it is not reaching the correct temperature. For example, the range is 1-9 with a L and H setting. The normal range has always been 5/6 and this produces hot water. However, recently any setting...

Which types of pipes, 1/2" BSP threaded fittings, sealants and washers are suitable to carry steam from a 2.8kW steam generator to a steam cabin, a pipe distance of 400mm? Originally I was thinking 15mm copper pipe soldered onto 15mm x 1/2" BSP female tap connectors (the type with the red fibre...

I have a Combi boiler. I'm wondering: what's the lowest temperature that I can set the supply to taps at please? I don't have mixer taps in the house and really don't want 60C hot water coming out of the taps.

Hi. Wonder if anybody can help with this please? We have a baumatic p632ss single oven. It seems that when it hits the temperature set on the dial, it trips the RCD. If I switch off at the wall, I can then reset the breaker. Otherwise i have to wait a minute or so. Setting the temperature...

Hi. We currently have a mains fed water tank in the loft, a vaillant thermocompact system boiler in the downstairs utility room, and a copper immersion tank on the upstairs airing cupboard. The boiler heats the hot water and stores in the copper boiler until required. The boiler also heats the...

My Salus rt500rf programable thermostat is acting bonkers. Had it working fine for 6 months, now its going crazy. It has been used on its factory settings, 22 degrees, manual and no programed on/off times. In the early hours of the morning, around 3am/4am it ignores the set temp on the unit and...

Hi - hopefully someone will be able to help Have a Vaillant boiler which generally works fine but never seems to reach target radiator temp. Hot water supply to taps etc is fine. For example it’s about 1 degree outside today. Thermostat is set to 23 and triggering the boiler. Despite this the...

Hi, Ive had the Triton Opal 3 Electric shower for about 4 years now. All been fine, but we have noticed that when the weather is warm and presumably the incoming water temperature is a bit warmer, the shower is too hot even with the control on minimum. By pressing the top button (2 red symbols...

Our kitchen, where the family spend most of their time, has two radiators but they are not generating enough heat to make the room warm enough in cold weather. Can anyone please recommend a website, or programme, which will help me calculate what size radiators we actually need? (Our boiler has...

I'm completely unexperienced with all of this, but am hoping for some help here before I have to call someone out.. I have a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W WB1B boiler (pictured) which, as of last night, has dropped to a temperature of between 11 and 13 degrees, leaving me without heating or hot...

First post on here, we have a betacom 30c boiler, recently the water isn't what it is should be, temperature wise.. The shower isn't as hot as it should be and goes hot and cold repeatedly, the separate bath tap is barely hot at its maximum and the same for the household taps. I've noticed as...
