Hi there, i am looking to fit a thermostatic shower valve with the sime boiler to replace a troublesome mixer shower valve. The new valve requires a fully modulating boiler. Do I have one?
Ian, thank you for my reply. I have just moved into the house, i think it has a standard mixer shower which is a nightmare to achieve a stable temp. Any slight movement on the handle and it goes from hot to cold and vice versa. The taps seem fine so I assume the boiler is o. K. Do you think this valve is likely to be faulty and a thermistatic is the answer. I have ordered a cooke and lewis lunda one in screwfix clearance for 50.00 as money is tight. Thanks again...
The boiler is in a bedroom hence theres no hot tap in the same room. Im going to fit the thermostatic one tonight so will check the hot is on the correct side. Thank you.
In the last few months there have been a few issues with this boiler.
1. Central heating pressure keeps dropping with no evident leaks that I can see, unless it's under the floor downstairs
2. Hot temp at taps and shower fluctuating from hot to cold then back again. You can hear the boiler firing up and cutting out when this happens.
Are these two issues likely to be linked, and has anyone got any advise on what might be wrong?
I'm arranging for a heating engineer to take a look ASAP, however just wondered if it might be something simple.
Thanks in advance...
you need to start your own post, it is against site rules to hi-jack a post and for good reasons, yes you have the same boiler but you dont have the same fault
