Did this late last night with the insulation and today everything's back to normal! Phew.... still going to get it serviced. Think it's around £150 plus vat, but will ring round a few places first.

Thanks I'll do this today with the insulation. We will get it serviced this week anyway, probably long overdue. Meanwhile the cupboard is now empty of mops, buckets and other crap!

Quick question should the black needle be above the red? I'm sure i read it should be. How do I adjust that?

I realise that now, my confusion is it's well over the temp it should be and even if our solar would have diverted lots our immersion would have said no stop at just over 50 degrees as that is what our stat is set at on the immersion.

So stick the probe in, put some insulation inside and then the pipe on? Like this 20250524_191007.mp4

Yes that is set to just over 50 degrees (under that white cover I set the temp myself). That's why I'm confused the screen says 62.6 which must be wrong. Sounds like the ASHP temp sensor is wrong!

Push insulation in after the probe? No why? It didn't have insulation on before. I think the sensor wire may be a bit faulty. Perhaps I damaged it knocking something. What I don't know is if the tank is actually at 62.6 degrees or not but if the temp probe is faulty and says the temp is 62 degrees when its only say 30 degrees it won't trigger thr ASHP to heat the water... guess I will find out when we have a shower later. It was on my radar to get it serviced anyway we haven't had it serviced for 2 years...

We have the tank set to max of juat over 50 degrees so the solic stops diverting and goes to export (very minimum solar today it's bucketing it down).

Think we have some success but I'm not sure what's happening. ASHP is working now for the hot water but it heats it to 62.8 degrees then it goes off. We have only ever had it set to 50 degrees and it goes to 50.5 degrees maximum only even with solar diverting. It seems like for some reason our new temp is set at 62.8 degrees and I'm not sure what I've done to adjust the temp!

Yes it's the ASHP DHW temp screen we are looking at. When the probe thing is out the ASHP DHW screen temp drops rapidly and when we push it back in it increases quickly and keeps increasing (I panicked at 65 degrees and took it out). That's what I'm confused with is how without the ASHP turned on and the probe in is the DHW temp on the ASHP screen increasing? I don't know if we have a seperate immersion control. We have a Solic where any excess diverts to the tank and the Solic had a boost function... I guess that would boost the temp but I don't know if I should keep the probe in or not. It's my own fault the mop bucket is in there and I throw my gym flip flops on top of the tank to dry them and I presume today in between the gym and mopping the floors I've knocked something. We are now emptying the cupboard and trying to work out what's been knocked. It was working yesterday....

I have no idea where the cut out is. I know we set the temp on the tank at about 50 degrees, I think it was under this. I don't know how to turn the manual thermostat on either!

There is an immersion as we have a solic but I'm not sure if that's coming on or not. What I don't know is if that's accurate and we have hot water or its not accurate and we don't! I don't want to leave it in as what's stopping the water heating up and heating up and boiling. Also if I take it out does that mean we lose all our hot water? Or how can we get hot water. Had to happen on a bank holiday weekend 🙄

Just to say there is no hot air blowing from the ASHP and yet the temp is creeping up when I shove that wire thing in... oh god

Help! I just noticed the water temperature had dropped massively and no water was heating up. I must have knocked something. Its this... Pushed it in and the water temperature rapidly increases and won't stop and keeps creeping up. So it goes from one extreme to the other. If I leave the cable out temp it shoots up, if I take it out it drops massively. And that is without the ASHP hot.water turned on so maybe its just showing the temp wrong! Eek what have I done?
