XPS and EPS are a wee bit different y'know...

do you ever run out of hot water with the tank at 48c? Simple answer is to turn down the thermostat in the immersion heater- when it's sufficiently hot and not taking any power you'll be exporting instead.

maybe elsewhere in the UK it's simple but here? these days? Pah.

was the original leak from the connector, or was the fill valve replaced? Was the supply unable to be isolated during the works? Are you a long way from a plumbing merchants and the bod just went with what he had in the van? Were you pleased to have the leak cured at the time? If you know enough to be unhappy with the work, why didn't you just fix it yourself... /but agree with everyone saying contracts esp with BG and the like are a poor idea.

so it's not modulating?

I treated our bath exactly the same as our shower trays. Batten underneath the edge of the bath, flexible upstand bonded to the edge of the bath, fleece over that and up the corner,then liquid tanking painted onto the whole wall area which was in the wet zone of the attached shower head.

give the guys at Cool Energy a shout and see if any of their installers can assist.

on/off.

will the stove's air controls not close off airflow? On ours, both levers close their respective vents completely.

^ that's GB-centric tho, by the looks of it. NI is a wee bit different...

I think the 15mm sections are strangling the supply to the mixer.

Are the heating flow and return plumbed to the correct ports on the mixer? What size of pipe is that at the front left of the mixer?Please tell me it's *not* 15mm...

It's reasonably big yes, but looks like it'll throttle down well and there's not very much heat to the room (remember it's a boiler). I was originally heading towards a Woodfire, either a Passiv or a CX8, or an Ecoboiler Wood, but the Passiv has gone to stoopid money, the Ecoboiler was withdrawn, and there's no production date for the CX8 currently. So I went off-piste in the hope of getting some value out of it this winter rather than next. The only thing the Bronpi doesn't have is a cooling coil but it is instead specced for a cooling injector valve which is something I've never seen in the UK.

yes, gotta burn the gases.

I'm waiting on a Bronpi boiler stove to touch down here in the next week or so. Ecodesign, external air, fancy preheated secondary and tertiary air setup. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

I get the feeling the UK stove manufacturers are part of the problem. They seem reticent to do much meaningful R&D or add tech, and the response to some of the new regs was just to stop sell, rather then certificate or improve certain models. Hence the total lack of boiler stoves as of last year.

which bit of BT33 is it? have you actually got enough soil to put a slinky in before hitting bedrock?

Similar is also used for swimming pool solar heating

why would a pipe start leaking?

worth noting that the minimum cycle times on, and off, are configurable in the installer menu and if you ensure there's plenty of turn off overshoot, then you can have a gently tailing off heating period each time. Or you could try playing with the PID settings...

there are two that I know of- one for the Carel display, and one within the App. Send me a PM if there's something you think you need to change in the nether...

There's a bit more description of some things in the "original" manual, see attached. The installer password will let you make a real mess of things if you want, but you should be able to do 95% of what you need in user and timezone masks. I find the scheduler is good, you can have it on 24/7 but use temperature changes to "prioritise" heating, if you will... sprsun-user-manual-for-dc-inverter.pdf

careful... that means weather compensation is turned on so your setpoint will be all over the place, also you may not get full power when you want it. You might try setting it to high speed to begin with until you get a feel for how the system responds and can tune the WC in.
