Help with Salus auto-balancing actuators
recoveringbuilder replied to europa's topic in Underfloor Heating
Ok I’ve had the 3 actuators off that aren’t working, the pins are moving ok but the actuator doesn’t respond when there’s a call for heat, I’m guessing these 3 have stopped working but is it not odd that it’s 3 that are positioned together? It’s zones 7,8 and 9, I can send for replacements but don’t want to waste money if it’s something else like the wiring centre, although it lights up ok when there’s a call for heat. Would it be a straightforward enough job to replace the 3 that aren’t working? -
Help with Salus auto-balancing actuators
recoveringbuilder replied to europa's topic in Underfloor Heating
Hi, I’m having a bit of trouble with a couple of the salus auto balancing actuators not operating, thermostat calls for heat but they don’t open, only two of them that I can see. I’m about to unscrew them and give them a spray with a silicone spray in case the pin is seized but my question is- is the pin in the head of the actuator or on the pipe it is screwed onto? -
Solve a disagreement I’m having with my brother in law- nearby plots we’re watching being developed. X is a house already started and I think at wind and watertight. Next plot is down a slope and they have dug out to level the ground which looks like it’s leaving X in a rather precarious position, there’s no more than 6 feet between the already constructed house and the dug out land for the next house, two separate self builds, I am saying the one that has dug out will need to erect a retaining wall, brother in law says it will be the responsibility of X . I can’t see this being the case as he already had the house erected when the other party started to dig. What are your thoughts?

electricity connections Extortionate price
recoveringbuilder replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Electrics - Other
We eventually got them down to just under £5k, we asked them to remove the pole that was on our land and they weren’t long in changing the price as long as we agreed the pole could stay! funnily enough the plots that were next to us are now getting all built on and none of the owners have been asked for anything over £3k! We did the ground work and they have benefited from it. -
Yes

Turned out the run off drains had blocked, I’ve just had them replaced yesterday, waiting on an electrician to come and look at the blower and see if it’s fused or needs replaced 🤷🏼♀️

Ok I’m sure his workmate will be able to do that 🤞

No theres no noise at all which is why I realised that it had stopped working. Who would I be looking at to fix it??

I have a Clearwater sewage treatment plant with blower, I just discovered yesterday that the blower has stopped working, it hasn’t tripped the power supply so what could be wrong? I’m waiting on one of hubbys workmates to come at the weekend and open the blower case but he admits he knows nothing about them, just can’t open it myself as the last time hubby opened it before he took ill there were mice inside it and that’s a no no to me!

Frozen pipes or an air lock?

I’m heating everything! Can’t understand it myself 🤷🏼♀️ -
How do I set these thermostats?
recoveringbuilder replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Underfloor Heating
Ok so I’ve managed to set up the hub and it appears to be working fine although whether it’ll work when I’m away from home is another matter as this is the problem I have with my cctv, works fine while I’m at home but not when I’m away and I think it’s the phone that’s at fault. Anyway one question- I’ve screenshotted what I’m seeing in the app but I have no idea what I’m supposed to do with the three boxes at the top or what they’re for - auto- hold- standby? @Alan Ambrose -

recoveringbuilder replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Underfloor Heating
I actually have the hub but have never been able to set it up , start reading the instructions and lose the will to live! And if the app on my phone was anything like the app I have for my CCTV- only works when I’m at home, I’ll give it a miss😩 -
How do I set these thermostats?
recoveringbuilder replied to recoveringbuilder's topic in Underfloor Heating
Absolute nightmare, we’ve never been able to work it properly and always had it at the99.5 hours which is workable when you’re at home but no good if you’re away. I have managed to do what@elite has said and put the frost setting up to 17degrees and put them onto frost setting so hopefully that will work, I’ve a few days to watch how it performs before I go away 🤞 -

I could if I knew how, only thing I know how to do with them is the 99.5 hours! yes they are heatmiser neo stats , pain in the backside -
So I have these wireless thermostats in each room, this is not a new problem but I’m going to be going on holiday next weekend and would like to get this sorted out. I can set the desired temperature in each room by using the “hold” button but it only stays at the set temperature for a maximum of 99.5 hours after which it reverts to a temperature of 21 degrees and I have to reset it. I would like to go away and set each room to 18 degrees but obviously because I’m going away for more than 99.5 hours it’s going to revert to 21degrees, I just can’t get my head round why it does this, my son in law has suggested that the Ufh controller must be controlling this but I don’t know how to change it s
