Allan would love some **advice ONLY** on whether using Salus controls we could arrive at something to help us with the following. OR maybe we can achieve a similar result without using the Ideal Weather Compensation Kit at all????? Our existing system consists of an Ideal Logic Heat H15 heat only boiler paired to a 180L Kingspan Tribune XE Unvented Indirect Hot Water Cylinder (this is the Dual Stat version). Zone 1 (Downstairs) consists of 7 Radiators + Plumbed Plinth heater, Zone 2 (Upstairs) is 6 Radiators. All radiators have manual TRV heads apart from 1 in each zone. The boiler supplies both HW and CH and is controlled by a Drayton Wiser Kit 3 Controller that has individual time schedules for Hot Water production and Zone heating temperature & times. On the Logic Heat H15 the "SET" temperature dial (E = 67'C) determines the temperature for both the CH and HW and has to be set to a minimum of 64'C so that the hot water is actually still hot enough when it comes out the taps. This doesn't seem to be particularly efficient as we are driving the radiators too high just so that we can maintain out hot water temp. We are considering adding Weather Compensation to the boiler. Doing this we can then set the appropriate curve for the heating and this would then use, one of, the Cylinder Thermostats to control the temperature of the hot water production which seems a more efficient way to use the boiler? So the query is would we be able to retain our 2 Zone heating setup? The upstairs zone is rarely on so losing that function would be less than ideal. Would we still be able to continue to use the Drayton Wiser Controller and Zone Thermostats or would we need some other controller setup?
Salus wunda or Honeywell? Four storey house ufh top floor (recent loft conversion), rads elsewhere. Wunda looks favourable at the mo as 30% off. I want reliability with signal. Got 11 rads. Currently on combi, considering mixergy or regular cylinder tank to cater for three showers so it will need to control the HW. Any recommendations appreciated.

Salus best thing is the Bin
I don’t think you have Salus in your home. You just lied Allen
I don’t lie 👍

Is there a list of TRV valve types the Salus head matches as not all valves are the same by any means.
Hi Allen can you do a video on how to measure out and piping up a boiler please thanks
I don't think these trvs reduce bills infact the will probably cause the boiler to overheat, total waste of money smart trvs
