The ultimate which combi poll

But following Nostrum's advice, I reduced it to a 32kw. I really don't think we need a 40kw, and I am not convinced that the relatively long gas run would be up to it.

Being fitted tomorrow, along with a 22mm Magnaclean Pro2 and a Salus iT500.

now you have had the salus it500, how our you finding it for reliability and ease of use Ray, a customer of mine is interested in one.

now you have had the salus it500, how our you finding it for reliability and ease of use Ray, a customer of mine is interested in one.

I have just set up the it500, something the installer didn't do. He just wired the base station in, and left the rest of the stuff, saying to Mrs S "I haven't been trained to do these, but you should be ok, because all the instructions are there".

He was right in that it was straightforward to set up - it took about 20 mins, of which 5 minutes was downloading an upgrade to the software, and another couple of minutes installing the app on my iPhone. I can certainly control the heating from my phone, which is good.

It seems reasonably easy to use, but since its a lovely late spring day, I'm not really fancying having the heating on. And I haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability, but during the set up, everything worked first time.

Bet you and Mrs S were not inpressed with that sort of attitude.

I'm afraid it ran through the whole installation. I am pretty sure that they under priced it, at £600 +VAT with me supplying boiler and flue, iT500 and Magnaclean, and them supplying everything else.

Because its 3 stories up, its not the most straightforward job, and it was priced without a survey. I didn't query it because they have been looking after the old boiler for 18 years, and replaced all the rads and the gas run a couple of years ago, so they know the layout of the house.

But all the way through, its been like they resented getting the job. They even told Mrs S at one point that they wouldn't be able to get the old boiler down the stairs. It was only when she wondered aloud how on earth I had managed to get it up there that they decided they might find a way.

Its a shame, because now I have to find another plumbing and heating firm, which is not as easy as it sounds, because I would rather not use a customer.

Good on her Ray, a lot of wives leave problems for hubby to sort out when they get home.
