Thank you so much. Came home today and no heating. Realised boiler pressure had dropped. The user guide was useless. But your video helped sort the problem out. Very much appreciated.
Excellent vid. I am a non DIY man. I know the difference between a hammer and a nail but that's it!!! With your vid, I just sorted out my boiler. Now, thanks to you I know what to do. Thank you. You da man!!!
Thank you for the video, my boiler was using £1 to £1.50 a day on standby, I did not understand why until I found this video. The comfort setting was on .british grass fitted it and did not go over the functions 3 years ago :)
I just moved into a house that has this boiler and the previous owners didn't leave the manual behind, nor was the manual I found online very helpful. This video helped me to get things set up really quickly. Thank you for taking the time out to show people how to use this!
Excellent, clear and very informative. Quite simply a tutorial that doesn’t overwhelm but gives all the necessary information to acquire knowledge along the way - n and solve the problem at hand. Marvellous! You’re a star Mark!
Omg you have helped me so much, my pressure was low & had no clue which button to adjust. Was planning on phoning in sick as I couldn't imagine going to work without bathing. I followed your how to steps & now my water is hot again. Thank you so very much🥰
Scotland, today it's getting cold now, I'm 70 & scared to adjust my boiler settings. Hot water is easy to understand but central htg what is correct temperature. I live in a 2 bedroom bungalow. Also it's summer, htg off, hot taps not running, my boiler fires up for minutes for no reason? Ok, done the tutorial at the boiler & now I know why it fires up as said - COMFORT! its now off. Set hw & will see how that goes & raise or lower. Htg, also now set at 55c & will monitor. Only thing is my rads also have a adjuster for them, not too sure on that, maybe Tango Mark can help there too. I was going to call the council house people but no need now & they wouldn't know as much as Mark. Glad I Googled this, the wonders of the internet. Thanks Mark (can you tidy my house?!).
Thank you Mark for this straightforward and informative tutorial - much better than the DVD that came with my Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28 back in 2013. I knew most of it but you have cleared up a couple of issues. Well done.
Thank you. I was looking to shave diwn the gas bill (aren't we all!) and i found this very helpful. I found the heating set to a whopping 75 and the comfort button on... now set to your recommended levels and i can see how it goes. Thank you!
I read that if the water is not over a certain temperature there is risk of leggionnaires disease ! “Yjd primary method used to control the risk from Legionella is water temperature control. Water services should be operated at temperatures that prevent Legionella growth: Hot water storage cylinders (calorifiers) should store water at 60°C or higher.”
Brilliant video, turns out my Vaillant ecotec pro28 has been in comfort mode since I've been in this house in 2015, and I'd always wondered why it was turning on randomly night and day! Even the plumber didn't know
Thanks this is my exact boiler though I do have the manual 24 hr time clock as well. I found you when I was looking for how to control the preheat function. You explained it very well.
THANKYOU , i have a vaillant eco tec pro its quite old maybe 2007 and its a council boiler they are extremely reluctant to advise and each time its checked they turn the radiator and water dials up , i have my rads on around 55 to 60 and water is around 44 so not hot but comfy to wash hands without worrying about being burnt , had this since it was installed , the digital dial doesn't show a c at all so does that mean i don't have pre heat or i don't have an option to turn it off and on . many thanks
Great video, but I'm missing the installers menu where in my opinion sits the most important setting: d000 - output power. This is the real money saver. It's default set to the maximum power consumption. I've set to 6kw which still keeps my house warm but only cost me 5,7 m3 gas per hour. Also, like others mention, do not set the hot water below 55 c degrees
My valiant eco tec plus has been off for central heating for the 3 or so months of summer. Hot waters been fine with no pressure loss or faults. I turned the central heating dial last night and it started but the pressure dropped to zero. I hit the flame button while turning the taps on underside and heard a like a loud switch click noise and fired up, closed the taps and pressure dropped again. So I turned the central heating dial off put the pressure back in the system and hot water works and holds pressure but if I turn that heating dial the pressure goes and I get F75. I pushed the pressure vessel valve in and water shot out.
Thank you for the video, so that I know something about my boiler, my timer is not working, what timer I want to buy any particular model please advice.
Heyy Mark. I've just moved into a property with one of these boilers & there is no thermostat. Do you know if the boilers come with no thermostat? Do you know if there's any I can buy that would work with this boiler. Thank you.
First at all thanks for this video which I found very informative on how to operate the boiler. I recently had an Ecotect Sustain installed and I found that the boiler wakes up when opening any cold water tap in the house. The fan starts to spin up, you can see the flame symbol for a short seconds and then disappears and eventually the fan stops spinning. I have never seen or expected this behaviour with previous combi boilers, Is this normal?
Amazing video thanks! My boiler has a clock on it and it makes a ticking sound, which is really annoying. We have a thermostat and I was wondering if a qualified person would be able to remove the panel with the clock and replace it with the one in your video ? thanks
Bu video'yu seyreden herkes gibi birazdan ben de gidip comfort ayarına bakacağım ve hemen off yapacağım :))) Bu PRO'larda SensoROOM bağlantı noktası yok galiba. Aslında onu öğrenmek için gelmiştim. Neyse yarın servisi gelince bağlayacak bakalım nasılmış öğreneceğim. Teşekkürler
I was going to clean my filter the one shown in this video I turned the valves off but when I opened the filter cover water kept dripping out I wanted to empty the filter because I was trying to add some inhibitor fernox but when I emptied the filter with a sponge I could hear more water come in does this mean I have faulty valves the ones with black knobs
Hi, great video! Quick question, what does the flashing egg timer sign means? Also whe when I have connected hive thermostat, the pressure shot up to 3.1 and the screen started flashing.... Am about to call an engineer, just curious what does the flashing egg timer sign means.... Also, I have the version with the timer. Thanks
Fantastic tutorial ,clear and concise.Thank you. One question ,what temperature would you set for UFH ,i have ceramic tiles for best heat conduction ,but set at 43 thermostats never seem to get to temperature .is there a band of acceptable temperature range to set boiler to dependant on outside temperature ?
Hello my minus button and the button above it for the tap icon don't seem to respond when I push them, my water temperature is a bit and I can't seem to reduce it. Could I have locked the buttons somehow?
Hi great videos. My systemseems to have water topping up every hour for approx 5 seconds you can hear the mains noise as it does so but I have followed your topping up sequence and brought my pressure up. What could be causing this mains yopping up noise, happened before and after topping up the pressure, In anticipation thanks,
Water noise can sound like it's coming from one place but really it's coming from somewhere completely different. If you have the sound of continuous water running suggested you may have a leak in your mains water pipe going into your house.
@@MarkBallardLTDHeatingEngineer the mains topping up sound is actually every 15 minutes and seems to eminate from boiler, we have no leaks anywhere, thanks
My filling loop has an open exit in between the 2 valves, when I open the valve under the boiler, the water comes out of the exit, and doesn't go into my boiler, I don't understand.
i have recently installed a HIVE thermostat into my vaillant boiler. it all seems to be working fine, however since installing the HIVE my boiler has been clicking/ticking every 30 seconds. any idea why?
The hot water tap icon is on my display screen (without a flame) and it is 9am but the hot water is programmed to come on between 6am and 7am. Any idea why the tap icon is on my screen now please?
How can i tell if my taps to fill it are on or off and its about 3 quarters full is that bad i darent turn my heating on as i heard it can break your boiler if taps are on but its freezing here at moment.
Is there a way to turn on the heating from the boiler itself without using the Heat Link? My Heat Link isn’t working no lights on it at all. I’ve tried holding the button down we’re but won’t come on. Any help would be appreciated 😊
Hi Mark my boiler have a flash sight of the heating on the screen and it make some noise in the house ABOUT the bathroom and my Vailan only 4 years old is a Eco tec plus 430 can you tell me what WRONG please THANK you.
Hi I wonder if you can help me. We had this boiler fitted in march 24 and all engineers, even after our own fitter and two subsequent vaillant engineers are at a loss why our radiators ramp up fast to the target heat then stop and don’t moderate or tick over to keep an even temperature, the rads just go cold for hours (giving a distinct coldness to the room plus cold bathroom etc) until the temp drops and they come on a ramp up again to then do the same thing. We had a new thermostat and various other things were checked. We are now waiting for an upper level expert vaillant engineer knowledgeable in this particular issue to come to check things out. Im not technically minded at all in heating but one shouldn’t have a new boiler to find half the time we dont feel warm and dont have a steady temperature in all rooms. Does anything spring to your mind about what might be the issue? Or point me in the right direction ? Thank you so much.
Please assist, don’t know what we have pressed, the pressure gauge drops from 3 to 1.3 and continued to drop, How to increase the pressure again? I watched the video, however sorry I still not get it. Please accept my foul and have further explanation to this 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I realy learned something about heating the right way thank you! I just have the same boiler and sometimes there is a blinking sand watch left from the temperature indicator any idea what that means?
HI Mark , great tutorial , I have a problem that after the time hot water became cold and time to recover it was advised to adjust Cylinder temperature D006 could you show how to do this ,thanks

My boiler technician had me raise the temperature on the tap water. He said it was a better choice if you want to avoid listeria.
Omg you have helped me so much, my pressure was low & had no clue which button to adjust. Was planning on phoning in sick as I couldn't imagine going to work without bathing. I followed your how to steps & now my water is hot again. Thank you so very much🥰

Great!! It worked. Thank you fir an easy to follow and informative video. Plumbers in general are no good. They guess and most under qualified.
Thanks Mark you explained it so well Appreciate your time and effort
Thank-you Mark, you are a very good boiler tutor!
Thanks so much. Moved into a new house and this was a godsend!
You’re absolute life saver. Thank you for this clear tutorial
Thank you , now I have replaced a radiator thermostatic valve and depressurise the system. It seems to be working 😊
Thanks this is my exact boiler though I do have the manual 24 hr time clock as well. I found you when I was looking for how to control the preheat function. You explained it very well.
Many thanks, I've saved money thanks to you, I hope you will keep doing kind of videos😊
Thank you for the reply concerning the need for an engineer. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this. I learnt a lot from it!!!! Keep up the good work 👍

Hi Mark does the Vaillant eco tec 424 have a permanent on setting?
When I switch the on button on the for the boiler my heating turns on with it. Which means it’s continuously on. How do I fix this? Thanks
Do you have a video about the other, more advanced options of the boiler? Pump speed etc?
Is there a way to turn on the heating from the boiler itself without using the Heat Link? My Heat Link isn’t working no lights on it at all. I’ve tried holding the button down we’re but won’t come on. Any help would be appreciated 😊
Thank you this video was very useful 👍
Hi Mark, I have this boiler and your video is very informative..
I have a egg timer on the screen can you explain what and how to remove …many thanks
Eggtimer fine. It's just pump over run
Pump overrun?
May i ask for what?
Boils eggs too? Mine doesn't!😊
Love this video
Do you work around London

Mark , any explanation about Boss boiler controller
What is the meaning of the “temperature that the boiler is at now” (as shown in the display) ? Is it the temperature of the return or the flow?
What temperature should I set to heat my apartment? I'm currently at 50°C
What if your hot water is on 65 and still not hot enough while having a bath?
HI Mark , great tutorial , I have a problem that after the time hot water became cold and time to recover it was advised to adjust Cylinder temperature D006 could you show how to do this ,thanks
