Roz Posted January 12, 2021 Author Posted January 12, 2021 Just now, SteamyTea said: Could he the legionella cycle It's been on whenever I've been there the last few days which would be a coincidence right? Ive got no idea though
SteamyTea Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 See if there is an electrical isolator on the immersion. Failing that, turn all the stuff off in the house and see how fast the meter us running. 20 minutes should be about 1 kWh. 1

I'm not there right now but yesterday my energy account says the house used 1.16kwh, with nothing on except the standby of these displays for the heatng. That was between 6pm and midnight
SteamyTea Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 That is about 200W. Hard to tell remotely. Circulation pump maybe. Just that it sounds similar to my cylinder when it is heating up. 1

I just would be surprised if I happened to be there each time it was doing a legionairres cycle!
SteamyTea Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Does seem odd. Worth checking the controller if it is the immersion. The legionella issue is so over rated.

If it's the immersion would it need to move water? It definitely sounds like water moving through/into the tank
SteamyTea Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Not usually. When I listened to it, it sounded like a warming kettle, which it is really. If water is being pumped around, just put your hand on the pump and feel it vibrating. Edited January 12, 2021 by SteamyTea
TonyT Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I would ask the installer to come back. If it’s a RHI install the installer also has ticked a box to advise they have instructed you on the operation. best to get it resolved while the install is fresh, warranty, defect period etc otherwise may end up like another saga elsewhere on this forum 1

Roz Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 So I went and investigated again today and realised the ASHP is on too (I hadnt noticed as it's so quiet), and some of the pipes into the tank are warm - the tank itself doesnt feel warm. I asked the plumber and he said it could be an anti freeze thing but the weather is quite a lot warmer than it has been (and we're in cornwall). He said he wasn't sure and to call Grant technical ?♀️
