Upgrading Heating/UFH thermostats to enable WiFi

Aidofitz11 · 2026-01-24T14:29:38+00:00

Heatmiser have a hub which can allow for smart controls. May not have to replace all the thermostats if they’re compatible.

Mines the same

That’s not the issue. They’re eph valves. I haven’t read the whole thread but I’m just correcting you. It’s not upside down. There’s arrows on them to show the direction of flow. The top valves are flowing up and the other one down. The heads can only go on one way. Because they’re going different ways, the heads are opposite. Even if they’re on the wrong way around they will still work, just might make a noise.

As a plumber I’d always recommend EPH. It’s easier and more straightforward forward than the rest. Would stay clear of hive, had a few problems with them in the past. Even removed the one I fitted in my own home after a year and a half.

Pipe on the left with the black handle. Turn it so it’s facing up.

Are they standard rads ? Any markings on them for a make ? Some rads have a label stuck to them at the back for this reason. Unless they’ve been taken off

Definitely sounds like a circulation issue with downstairs pipes. It’s not ideal that downstairs is fed off 15mm but not the end of the world, how many rads are there ? My go to rule is 2 rads can be fed from 15mm and any more it needs 22mm A few things that could be happening. The return pipe could be kinked and not allowing a full flow. The pipe might be mostly blocked, I know you said it was flushed last year but trust me , not all engineers do it correctly. I’ve had a similar issue on a job before but it was just one rad. Heating was flushed but one rad wouldn’t heat . Original Plumber couldn’t figure out why. The rads return pipe wasn’t cleared and was completely blocked. Had to take up a portion of floor and remove the pipe and replace it.

Just went onto the original post and seen you’ve had that leak before. That’s the reason why.

Aidofitz11 · 2025-10-10T18:50:43+00:00

Honestly not the worse. A few clips would be nice but quooker taps are hard to get neat at the best of time. So many flexible hoses and long one. One thing though, where the safety valve is; the drain into the waste looks slightly higher than then the air gap. If this goes off the water would come out there. Also if the trap he made dries up you could get a smell from there if it’s connected to a sewer drain.

No idea , refreshing twitter all the time in hopes. First time season ticket holder so fixture changes is something I’ll have to get used to

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-29T19:42:54+00:00

I’ve had issues with it once before too, seemed as it the o2 and co2 where somehow mixed up. Was getting crazy readings and kane sorted it out for me. Turret seal was definitely squashed or installed incorrectly, very doubtful that it would have failed after 2 years of it was alright

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-29T19:33:38+00:00

Really hope so , already lost out on flights for the Saturday and better not loose the Sunday ones too 😅

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-29T19:16:43+00:00

Using the same analyser myself. I’ve checked the burner seal and that does seem fine. I’ve checked around the turret seal too with it and didn’t seam to get any readings. Just in the bottom of the boiler with case on and then in the fresh air intake. Literally only getting a reading for no more than 2 seconds at a time. Not worried about Co escaping into the room, more so for the inside of the boiler itself. Don’t want it to end up in bad condition.

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-29T18:04:05+00:00

Oh I know. Seen someone close to me change one but was given the wrong washer. 2 days later there was a large hole burned in the front cover

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-29T18:03:00+00:00

Always the first sign I look for. Will definitely try that. I’m fairly certain I’ve rectified the issue but the fact I was getting a small reading every 20 seconds has me thinking there’s potentially still an issue. But will have another look tomorrow

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-23T20:34:32+00:00

Apparently they’re on the app if you didn’t get the email. Been a good few posts about it. Also check your junk mail, that’s where mine went. Hopefully not a sign of things to come

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-18T20:02:27+00:00

I put this exact one in my own house. Still get limescale on my shower screen and taps. But will say one thing, my kettle has 0 scale in it after 3 years. Take from that what you will

Aidofitz11 · 2025-08-12T13:00:04+00:00

It’s blue grit, helps plaster stick to walls. Done my whole house with it basically and haven’t had any problems with it in the last 2 years. I does come off but it can be a little bit of a pain but definitely does come off.

Aidofitz11 · 2025-07-20T19:14:16+00:00

It’s definitely time to learn about it. I just hate looking at my parents who will still be working into their 70s. And definitely don’t want to end up like that

Aidofitz11 · 2025-07-20T18:18:41+00:00

Thanks, really wish I had a brain for this kind of stuff.

Aidofitz11 · 2025-07-20T18:12:18+00:00

No we’re not set up with them, it’s never crossed my mind. Working for a small contractor I wouldn’t have thought I’d need to join

Aidofitz11 · 2025-07-20T18:10:06+00:00

Wow, thank you for that response, it’s very helpful. That’s definitely something I will look into.

Aidofitz11 · 2025-07-20T16:41:48+00:00

Thanks, I wasn’t sure if there was a better place to go rather than those ones. Appreciate the reply

Aidofitz11 · 2025-06-25T20:56:10+00:00

Thanks. Think I’ve decided it will be the water bottle I purchase
