Good day all,
So i fitted a Ultracom 30sxi last year and all worked well. Up until a month or so back when the boiler seemed to stop modulating properly. It continues to fire, ramp up, hit temp and then stop. It does this every few mins....
Weekend just gone my plumber and i (im an electrician, AC and Building maintenance engineer) installed a new unvented 180l dual coil cylinder ready for solar. I fitted a Climapro 1 and also a Smart wiring center using the ebus system. I have a weather compensator to fit but want the system to run fine before i install it.
So far ive had:
System is still not modulating properly?
Climapro heating programme doesn't seem to let you set an off period. You can only drop the temp to 5 degrees over night or during the day while no ones at home?
The boiler shows 10 degrees as soon as the heating and hot water isnt requested for?
And the heating turned on last night which yes it was cold outside but i cant say my landing hit below 5 degrees! ?

The manuals from Glowworm are worse than hopeless as im sure you will agree. Just wondered if others have come across any of these issues and if so how to fix them?

Thanks
Dave
 
Did all this start B4 you added other controls ? if so call out GW boiler still under warranty, Sorry we cant give information about working on boilers.
 
Your Climapro is a programmable stat and they dont have off periods, just low temp to turn off.
As to the 10 degrees are you sure this is not 1.0bar??
 
Thanks to both of you. Im aware i cant ask regarding Gas safe works but im hoping alot of these issues are programme or settings issues.
Im fine leaving it at low temp (5°) to be honest just checking im not missing anything.
As for the 10° yes its definitely 10°. Not 2 mins ago the valve for HW shut, Heating shut off also as demand was met. Went straight down to boiler and sure enough it said 10°. I had my temp probe out ready and flow was 57° and return was 55° by the time i set it up. Only thing 10° near any kit is in the loft where the cylinder and Smart wiring center is..?
Cant find anything saying theres a temp sensor in there. Cant see why there would be either.

Thanks again

Dave
 
Well heres the part I missed out.... the system has microbore pipe in it also!.
System was flushed and was also treated with cleaner on refill and then drain 2 weeks later and inhibitor added.
Well good news is that the system didnt run last night so thats one thing sorted :)

Thanks again
Dave
 
Im surprised it took so long to get a comment about it being a Glow Worm :)
 
Yeah thanks all. My plumbers back to have a look at the weekend so hopefully he can give tech a call as they obviously dont talk to anyone thats not Gas safe, even when you ring them regarding wiring/controls issues....
Just thought id try and get any extra thoughts for my plumber.

Thanks again all

Dave
 
get your plumber to join up then once he has the prerequesite number of posts (10) he can ask away in the private gas section.
