Thanks Rick, so not so simple any more.[bigsad] Had Stepper Valve probs with the D1 so have an idea what may be happening. Good luck.
You think you have probs! Had a housewater pressure pump "repaired" the other day just found it is doing the same thing ie,. not running. Was supposed to be a faulty capacitor & it has been replaced but "she no workee Meester Fawlty"
Now to see if I get some bugger to help me on a Sunday at late morning, should be a piece of cake. [biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]
Next best recommendation for a utopian spec please fellows.
Soft start.
Low consumption.
High output.
Able to cool a poorly insulated area of 12.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 metres.
I could particion the area in to a couple of 6 metre rooms and either use two units, one at a time, or duct the aircon to the end in use.
Split system would be my preference, so that the heavy bits can be mounted out of the way.
I do you will have to learn to turn the phone off[tonguewink]Quote:

Anyhow, have now had a shower & water is being kept up ok. Right, now where did I put my Blocksplitter?
Thinking on a bit, I suppose I should suspect the Pressure Control just in case it is short cycling & tossing the internal protection out if there is one of course.
Pump is an ONGA SMH45 & aprox 3 years old, if anyone knows any quirks about these & it has been a good pump.
My fault Paul, I've told him he can always ring, and he has my private number too!Quote:

I told him to watch the temps and make sure the valve is modulating before leaving site.
No one can afford a liquid floodback at this stage.
Standard pressure switch plus pressure tank Des?Quote:

They will short cycle without air in the tank.
It's been a few years since I've played with those.
I used a Grundfoss with an electronic control that didn't need the pressure/expansion tank when I set the old house system up about ten years ago.
Thanks Rick. No, no pressure tank, previous pump had one & it really was a PITA Electronic Control I think it is. BLOODY HELL! Looking at ONGA parts etc on line. Looks as though I may have to mortgage the property if that is what it is.
Did you prime it when you put it back in, otherwise it might have run a lot to get rid of the air and tripped on hi-temp or duty cycle if electronic control?Quote:
