owls101 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Need some advice please. Just moved into a house with an ideal independent combi boiler. In the morning the first person to have a shower in fine and then when the second goes in the water starts off hot but then runs freezing cold after about 2 mins. I was looking at the boiler while my mrs was in the shower and when it's turned on (just mixer tap from bath) the boiler calls for hot water and everything is fine, then after about 2 mins the boiler goes back to central heating mode and the water runs cold. When the shower is switch off and then on again, the boiler calls for hot water again but then after about 2 mins switches back to central heating. Anyone know what the problem is?

Antone Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Is there an engineer could take a look at our Ch system? Two problems a) Remote controls don't seem to have any effect on operations. So we have to turn CH on and off manually at the boiler (A Hydroline B24), b) I can't find where to fill the boiler, which is not prob right now as it's got acceptable pressure, but obv we need to fix this. Anyone can take a look, pls let me know. S7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cid Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I havnt had central heating before, and I am wonder the mot economical way to control the heat. At present we use the controls on each heater, its always off in the kitchen. And then putting the dail on the wall to 20* when we want it warm. Our days are very varied, how can I set it up, so that I can use the one hour button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That is a pretty garbled message El Cid... Simple answer is: Dunno, depends on your setup. We have a Honeywell thermostat all we do with that is set the temperature to where we want it. The actual 'timer' is on the boiler, which decides what comes on when (Hot water as well). So if we don't want the heating off at 8.30 (normal time during week days) we have to manually switch on the boiler until it meets its next planned time.

Mecky Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Time it to come on at a specific hour and then to switch off an hour later. If I remember correctly the heating has to seperate on/off settings as does the water. Think I just to manually put mine of cont for a few hours before turning it off, which suited me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumperillo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 We're having a problem with the shower in our bathroom. The water flow/pressure is fine but it doesn't get hot. Basically our plumber says that it needs a new thermostatic cartridge but he can't do it unless we can find out the make/model. Otherwise he'd need to take off the tiles to find out which cartridge it needs. So... does anyone here recognise the shower who could tell us the make?? It'd be much appreciated. http://s585.photobucket.com/user/clumperillo/library/Shower?sort=3&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our days are very varied, how can I set it up, so that I can use the one hour button? If you are going to be home all day for example, an economical way would be to have the heating on low and constant, but not at 20 degrees, maybe about 14 or 15 degrees. As for the one hour option on your varied days, it will be best for someone to show you how to do that. Difficult to explain on the forum, and there are different controls whereby they are set-up differently. Personally I have the gas fire on constantly in one room only, usually on the lowest setting. If I feel the rest of the house is getting a bit too cold I put the heating on for about 15 minutes to take the chill off. That suits me ok but there is no-one else here to please only me.

Antone Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 HELP! We've just moved into a house and I can't figure out how to fill the CH system. I've got the manual and I know which tap it is, but turning the tap does nothing. Is there likely to be another tap somewhere? (It's a Hydroline B24 . . . yeah, I know) The heating works right now but is on the borderline of going under 1 bar. Got an engineer coming Monday but I'm worried we won't make it til then.
