I think that you will find that the 'soft' start for an electric induction motor is only over a period of seconds, to limit the current inrush. The ...
Just a note of caution. Correctly optimising the WC curve can literally take weeks to achieve dependent upon variations in weather conditions. Only ...
It is interesting to see how the compressor appears to go up to maximum speed when the actually LWT is quite low when compared to the target value, wh...
If I am understanding correctly, your WC curve is set to LWT of 35C @ OAT of -4C and LWT of 30C @ OAT of 20C. So at an OAT of 0C, the LWT should be in...
@cathoderay So on your particular system, when in setback mode, the whole system appears to be disabled, including the water pump or pumps. When cyc...
It may have been adequate a few days ago, when the OAT was higher, but now 35.5C could be inadequate. Your system cannot be operating in WC mode if ...

If you run your heat pump on a fixed LWT, the IAT will likely vary with changes in OAT. Applying a 1C setback may have just made matters worse. If y...

I would suggest that you check the location of the temperature sensor on your hot water cylinder, since if it is fitted too high up the cylinder you m...
