LG heat pump issues
Hi, I have got a 9kw LG monobloc heat pump, does anybody know the correct setting for the water pump flow control, there are three settings Pump Capacity, Optimal and Delta T, it does have a buffer tank in the system, thanks
Hi, Im trying to get to grips with the LG settings for a friend so Im not expert but this video
suggests Optimal might be the way to go. However this video is for the split unit rather than the monobloc
Do you have a good handle on the other settings, so I can pick your brain if needed? Thanks

@bontwoody Hi, please send me your model number of the heat pump and I will see if I can forward you the correct settings
@potatoman Thanks, I think I have my head around the installer settings I want to adjust, I have sorted out the AI settings that would work better for them given they have a thick slab with UFH. What Im struggling with is things like:
The DHW is currently heated ad hoc once the tank temperature drops to a set point. As they are using octopus cosy it would make more sense to schedule this in the cheap periods and avoid the expensive one. Can you tell me where this is set up?
Thanks in advance

@potatoman I didnt think so. I thought that was just setting the maximum length of heating the DHW so as not to impact space heating too badly. The second field is the length of time till the next heat and the third the minimum time till the immersion kicks in. Im hoping to stop the immersion altogether.
I was told by the owner that the DHW reheats automatically when the tank temperature drops to a set point, although I havent seen anything so far that confirms that is possible. Do you know if it is or is the DHW just heated on a set schedule, which is what I want to do.

@bontwoody Hi, I would go on to this site and ask your questions as it is solely for LG heat pumps https://www.facebook.com/groups/716683532924964?sorting_setting=CHRONOLOGICAL The trouble is all my settings are controlled by a Homely
@potatoman Ah. Ok. Thanks.
Do you find Homely has worked well and saved you money?

@bontwoody That's an interesting question, I haven't got enough data to give you a proper answer. The heat pump was fitted in March and the Homely was fitted about four weeks ago.
@potatoman That sounds pretty good then. I may suggest that as a way forward for them if they dont want to get into the nitty gritty with the heat pump.
