  1. Any idea how to increase the water temperature? Nothing i touched seemed to alter that thermostat temp, apart from it running, then as the rooms have warmed the thermostat has increased up - Have Engineered woods floors and some carpets The 1 L/M was because im using a heat pump, seemed to be the listed value in a few places Thoughts on fitting Auto Balancing Actuators so i dont need to bother with the flow meter settings? Worthwhile upgrade?
  2. Trying to understand what is happening with my UFH and also if my logic is correct. 3 bed flat, Lounge and 2 bedroom upstairs 700 Sqft - 1 bedroom downstairs 300 sqft (guess) UFH was working, but one room was always cold, over the summer had some pipes moved and then heating didnt work Centralised Hot Water system The heat pump is all controlled by Eon (but taken cover off) The pump is grundfos alpha2 l 15-40 The UFH is polypipe What i did Refilled system Depressure Manifold Took off Flow Meter and made sure working For each circuit (4) put the flow meter to 1 L/M as when higher the room didnt get hotter State I now have the flat warm finally but its taken days, and i was getting 0.1 degree increase an hour in the rooms (but this may have been from zero as no water in system before i started) The water coming in from the flat is very hot on the pipe, the water into the manifold was 24c but seems to increase as the rooms get hotter (but floors dont feel warm) The Grunfos system when you turn on defaults to 1 but manual says it should be on setting 3 for UFH at which point the flow meters jump, however in the 10yrs in the flat ive never changed it Questions Have i got an airlock, the water isnt hot enough under the floor or a flow rate issue? Is the Grundfos on the right setting? If i changed this then im guessing more flow = most cost and if the water isnt hot enough for the flow im just pushing cold water through? Everything ive read says that UFH should be set to 1 L/M i presume this is per circuit?, i dont really see how i can accurately adjust this between 0 and 1 on a float to balance the system. What is the black RAVK valve doing? There is a adjuster to right of the Grundos that seems to do nothing There is a valve near the Thermostat that has the temp of the water going into the thermostat - not sure what that does either. Also is it possible the system was just so cold its taken this long to get heat through it all? Obviously want the house to be warm but would like to not bankrupt myself in the process Thanks for the advice

  4. Is is possible to wire a lightswitch in as a momentary switch?
  5. Confused on the above - You wired that into the Vent AXIA? Doe anyone know if i can fit Humidity Sensor PCB (441838) to the B model? Would that fix my issue?
  6. Can you add a humidity sensor to the B model as that would solve the issue and ill just rely on that If its just a module that is
  7. Not sure there is a Humidity Sensor on the Sentinal B is there? Isnt that a + model thing, unless ive missed it on the Panel?
  8. Have a Vent Axia Kinetic Sentinel Plus B installed When you turn the bathroom light on it turns on the boost, then when you turn the light off the boost goes off. Tried to replace the light switches with simple smart switches, now what happens is the Boost comes on with the light, but remains on even after the light is turned off. I am presuming this has something to do with the fact the light switch only has terminals for live and its using the neutral to detect the light off? All the neutrals are tied together external to switch. On the Vent Axia end i have Live and Neutrals into SW1 and SW2 which i presume goes directly to both bathrooms. Is there any way of changing the wiring on Vent Axia end, ive seen that you can change the wiring to a momentary switch, could i wire the light in like this and then set the Vent Axia to run for 30mins each time light is turned on?
