    Vaillant VR10 with a vented cylinder?

    Hi, I was hoping to replace an old system boiler with a Vaillant Ecotec Exclusive 627 system boiler, thats the one with the diverter valve so no need for zone valves, controling it with a V-Smart and a VR10. I've spoken to Vaillant Tech and they said you cannot use the VR10 with a vented...

    Vaillant System Boiler With Additional Pump

    Hi, i've got a job with a Vaillant Ecotec 630 system boiler, and i don't know the full history but the house has definitely been extended significantly since the boiler was installed. There's now 21 radiators/towel rails. It's getting to temperature, but even after balancing, it's not heating...

    Gas Engineer Software

    Hi, i'm looking for some gas engineer software primarily to produce gas certs on, i was previously using one called Gas App UK, which was ok enough, but they've switched to a paid subscription model last week without warning , and looking at a few of the others it's probably not the best one if...

    Powerflushing a system with a Powermax

    Hello, I have a job with a Potterton Powermax system that is badly clogged up with sludge/rust from several leaks/ignored problems etc. I want to powerlush it to try and solve some of the problems, and I just want to get clear in my head how to go about this. I guess i'll disconnect the...

    Main Eco Elite Sump Gasket

    Hello, I've got a Main Eco Elite combi with a gap in the sump gasket (pretty sure that's what they call the part) so POCs are escaping, so needs to be replaced. Has anyone got any idea how long this is likely to take? I can't work out if the hole heat exchanger needs to come out or whether the...

    Vaillant Ecotec Diverter Valve Repair Cartridge

    I've seen some replacement cartridges for Vaillant Ecotec diverter valves, just the innards. Aftermarket stuff, not official, and I know you're supposed to use official parts and all that, but the diveter valves on Vaillants are probably the weakest part i'd say. Has anyone used them and had...

    DPS Thermal Store- hot water/flow issues

    Hello, hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday weekend. I have a customer with a Dedicated Pressure System (DPS) Heat Bank System (Thermal Store). If they run one bath/shower, it's fine. If they try to run two at once the water at both is barely even warm. I know the house has been extended...

    Heatline Capriz Plus Drain Plug

    Hello, i require a drain plug for a Heatline Capriz Plus 28a, i've just phoned up the spares line and have been given a code of 0020203966, but when i look this up at any supplier it is listed as a 'handle'. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever needed one of these, if they managed to get...

    Immersion heater overheating

    Hello, i have a job that had an immersion heater overheating, i didn't know how old it was so just replaced it as they don't seem to last these days. Within a week it had overheated, so i reset it. Now a month later it has gone again, and maybe once more. It's a 14" immersion, incoloy/titanium...

    Will a Vaillant 150 Timeswitch fit and older Ecotec?

    I've got an older Vaillant Ecotec combi with a 130 Timeswitch that's broken, can the newer 150 timeswitch be used on it rather than paying over the odds for a 130? I know you can put the pins in a couple of different positions but can't remember if it fits the older ones or not. Thanks in advance

    Which combi boilers are available with a rear flue option?

    I'm after a boiler with a rear flue option for a replacement cupboard installation, i know the Vaillant Ecofit Pure and Gloworm equivalent but i've fitted one before and wasn't really happy paying a grand for what seems to be essentially the same as a £480 Heatline Capriz2 so was looking for...

    Blocked Saniflo outlet pipe

    I've got a job with a saniflo that's not put pumping away, the cause of which being the waste pipe downstream of it being blocked. Not entirely, but only letting mains pressure through at maybe 1ltr/min say. It's run in copper right out to the stack as far as I can see, so it should be able to...

    Vaillant Ecofit 30 - Excessive plumage?

    Hello, I've had a customer saying their boiler steams a lot, which I explained was normal, and will be more noticeable in cold weather, but when I saw it it did look a bit much. What do you think? Short of a leaky heat exchanger I can't think what could cause it either. Boiler is 1 year old.

    Kane 255 Flue Analyser

    Hello, i had my van nicked (along with all my tools) the other week so have had to replace everything and need a new analyser. I had the Kane 458 before with all the bits and was happy with it but the 255 is so much cheaper and i'm wondering if i really need the better one. As far as i can see...

    Drain Test Bag Leaking

    I've been asked to perform a pressure test on a soil stack i've recently installed for a new build and i'm using an inflatable test bag for the bottom and i cannot get it to seal. I flushed the toilet thinking maybe a bit of water on top might help it and i can see it dripping though. The bag...

    Glowworm Cxi F.12 fault

    I've been to have a quick look at my mate's boiler and its displaying F.12 which is 'Connection fault between main pcb and display pcb'. The boiler is not firing up. The wire itself seems ok, no obvious breaks/damage (have not actually tested yet). I've had a word with a couple of people and...
