Heating/water controls

[stone1048]

Looking for a bit of advice. My CH system has 2 controllers one for water and one for heating. I would like to replace these with one controller for bother heating and water contol. I have a Salus RT500RF which controls the heating and is mouted in the hall and is battery operated. In the airing cupboard upstairs there is a another controller for the water a Salus EP100. which is mains powered. I don't know whether this has a battery backup but recently we have had 2 power cuts and both times lost all the programming in the SP100?? The receiver for the RT500RF is in the loft. I'm suer there is a controller on the market that will do what i want but not sure? Also with an RF controller that controls both does it need 2 receivers one for water the other for heating. And adviv=ce would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Paul

What you need is a 2 channel programmer or programmable room stat (1 channel is hot water, 2nd is heating)

There may be a reason its been wired like that but I fully expect its an easy install for an electrician, probably without needing to run any new cables. For a plumber it may be a little more difficult depending on what their electrical skills are like

The one unit could probably go where the existing single channel programmer is located in the cylinder cupboard. Look at the likes of the Honeywell T6R-HW, Wiser by Drayton, Hive capable of heating and hot water et al or talk to an installer competent in electrics.

Why not just replace the very old Salus EP100 with the current EP110, which is supposed to have memory back up?https://salus-controls.com/files/EP110-Manual-V005.pdf

Heard Salus are crap, but each to their own I suppose.

Never heard of Salus before seeing this thread. Pity you didn't mention this before.
I assumed that stone1048was just another householder like me and I tried using some common sense, something I have found lacking in many so called pros, and was suggesting a solution that caused the minimum expense and disruption. Possibly they have common backing plates.
