Hello Experts,
My name is Junaid , I am looking for some advices what to do as the next step for my UFH, I am expat from Germany with little German speaking proficiency and having trouble to find the right solution for my house! There is always miscommunication, lies, etc. by the heating company and plumbers so I decided to do now many things with my own hand and using Youtube expert opinions.
The house is from build year 1965 its a detached house with not too much insulation, 158sqm of house and all windows are double glazed so I know some of the heating loss is possible.
The manifold have the issue that its return valve have been completely cold like 19°c-25° but hot water lines are between 44°c-50°c (I set the flow higher to observe the measurement), I have drained all the manifold lines from the rooms one by one by using a hosepipe and connecting it to the tap connection and removed the air that was stuck in between..
issues that still have not fixed and I really need help so the rooms can be warmed. at the moment its -5°c outside and our rooms are 12° or 16°.
Return water is always cold as I mentioned earlier, when i speak with the installation guys they said there is problem with your manifold not our system( Bosch gc5800iw),
also some of the people said that we have used the wrong pipes but as per the details I do not see this is the issue. I am 100% sure when the return valve start working and from one side the heating water will push water and exit with a little difference from the return valve the rooms will get warmer.
One more tip/Observation from the recent visit by the installation guys I closed all the two floors main lines and only opened 2 rooms circles from the manifold so that only these 2 rooms gets the heating water to see if the manifold setting can be choose instead of 0.5L/m to other more higher and realized that the pump from Bosch is not so powerful that I can reach 2.5 or 2L/m setting on the manifold. I was unable to reach the higher setting I dnt know the reasons but many videos I saw its easier to set 2L/m (mine never go above 1) finally with the last experiment I reached 1.5L/m value.
Do I need another Pump between the Bosche connection before the main water lines( rücklauf und vorlauf hauptleitung)
please let me know your questions , I look forward for the positive feedback from the community.
