Hi @iancalderbank , Swapped over probes looked like a similar diff initially, but now since running speed 3 on secondary pump these temps seem to ha...
Other photos seem to show a size diff that would indicate 28mm main or more, then 22mm, then 15mm copper at the end. The 22mm branches seem to be for...
Thanks @iancalderbank - waiting for the plumber to confirm the sizing as that was just the builder's guess
@iancalderbank - builder believes it's a standard 22mm flow and return into a 15mm drop for the rads. But is confirming with the plumbers
So all in all I see: Top right of LLH versus pipe in plant room leading to heating zone: 1C drop Total drops with drop from zone pipe to r...
Thanks Ian, I'll ask this with the plumbers. I think upstairs looks to be running of this also, as I know that's approx where a rad is above this ro...

Thanks Toodles.Here's probably a stupid question. I notice: (Grant panel) LWT on Grant panel (I think this never shows .5C rounded to nearest 1)...
Thanks Toodles, I hope so for sure. That 1.5C max uplift to LWT puts about 1C extra into the system at current temps, and really felt that upstairs. ...
I think it’s safe to say the rads downstairs appear to be the issue. Keeping upstairs on but reducing lock shields down does seem to have reduced cy...
thanks Derek. I’ll try and push for the LLH to volumiser as well as simplification of zones. The DHW cycle heating upstairs was an oversight of the he...
