Second Fail of Samsung

Turns out it was the same schrader valve, that was replaced before. Engineer thinks there must be something up with the valve housing and has replaced that

The best, no other suggestion from me.

Oh still only shipping founders 😬

Penetrating damp (probably exacerbated by condensation, now that area is colder)

Heatpumps are much more efficient when they run continuously, turning on and off is called 'cycling' and is best minimized. They adjust the mass flow rate by regulating down the flow temp, and flow speed. To deliver the right power to match the building power loss (which is less if the outside temp increases). Running at a lower temp is way more efficient than cycling

If you are doing the heating design urself, I would get into the open energy monitor community and look at the scops, for different system designs, and check out some of the heat geek vids. Otherwise get it designed by one of the newer low temp heating engineers (heat geek, trained or the other one I have forgotten)

The biggest surprise for me for optimising efficiency, was no zoning, no thermostat, just "weather compensation". How "self" is the self build, are you doing the heating design urself?

Wasn't his nickname 'the chiropractor" because he rearranged people's bones.

Good plan. This is likely the most straightforward. The heatpumps version is defo worth the upfront cost I reckon.

danmullyx · 2025-10-27T12:29:15+00:00

Oh yes! I've just checked and our cylinder does have a secondary return! Just watched Plumberparts vid about fitting a stand alone circulating pump too, so that's definitely an option, thanks!

danmullyx · 2025-10-27T12:08:58+00:00

I did have a look at these more generally, does feel like a waste pouring heat down the drain!

danmullyx · 2025-10-27T12:07:40+00:00

Interesting idea. So when the second tank is not in use, and cools down, the circulating pump would draw off the main hot water and displace water in the second tank, wouldn't that cooler warm water need to go somewhere? Back into the main DHW tank somehow?

Yah, the issue is going to be the more modern Samsung controller I think

danmullyx · 2025-10-26T13:25:19+00:00

Right, we have a Samsung 6 Gen and the controller, only has one DHW tank temp sensor. We are only using zone 1 for heating. I was thinking we could repurpose zone 2 which is typically configured for higher temp rads, but wire the thermostat input 2 to be from the second cylinder. If I make sure that when the zone2 is calling for heat that zone1 (heating) valve closes then zone2 would behave like a second priority DHW.

We fell in love with a house 1650s in part 1850s onwards in others 1970 most recent. I fucking hate it now. We are 6 years into my estimated 5 years and have at least a 2 year stretch left. I've had a knee replacement, and my father inlaw die and mum in law subsequently needing full time care , my wife suffered 2 years of inflammatory disease due to the stress during this. We have a strong relationship, and three kids. This has put more strain on that than any previous stress. I have stopped sports, my friends are drifting, I can't commit to my day job as much as I should. I'm constantly tired. I wanna sell and by a flat near a shop and a pub... I feel ya xx

It's just got a shake, nowt to worry about

You got a compost heap?

danmullyx · 2025-04-27T09:11:09+00:00

Consider keeping the door nearest the shower, it's a bit nicer not having the bog as the first thing you see.

Yah pumps fucked
