    Password to check the programming of a Grant Spira Wood Pellet Boiler?

    What is it? It apparently is obvious when one knows it. The last numbers of the serial number for example. Anyway, it hasn't been changed from the Grant factory set password,,, though it is numbers.

    System or Heat Only Boiler

    A (if) CH system has a very high head loss due to improperly sized pipework and long runs and possibly partially blocked pipes and requires a UPS2 pump running at its 8M head to feed 21 rads with a theoretical output of 25kw at a 20C dT.
