    Why pump not running when hw valve opened manually? I'm newly qualified gas engineer and wanted to say big thanks for your time and effort to share your knowledge with us.

    • @HeatingGeek
      @HeatingGeek  6 років тому +2

      Because when you manually open a valve you dont actually "make" the electrical switch (microswitch) inside the valve.
      All you do when you put the valve on manual is open the water pathway.

      Unless it's a danfoss one. That will make in manual.

      You’ve just got another subscription as I’ve had to create a new account as was having issues with this, As far as getting more subscribers I guess if the content you put out interests people they will subscribe , I guess it’s no different to starting a company for example it takes time for people to hear about you. A few guys now watch you as I’ve told them how good you are and that you could help them learn. I’m sure others have too. Don’t stop doing it as for us who love what we do it’s great to watch. Enjoy your weekend !

      Not sure how you can get more subscribers but PLEASE dont stoop to the depths of getting some dickhead to stand behind you eating flux from his Fluxuator tool because that might yet make me cancel my subscription with another UA-camr, its clear you have the knowledge and Im sure with time more people will follow your channel, good luck.

    • @HeatingGeek

      Yeah eating flux isn't really for me.... I will just keep going as I am. Maybe get an intro done or something. Anyway no flux eating at the moment..

      I miss read this comment. your talking about the actuator head. I was replying about the PRV head....
      If you were paying you would do the syncron motor right? Thats how i look at it. you can get syncrons for about £10 but an actuator has got to be £30

    • @heatservicebwckent400
      @heatservicebwckent400 6 років тому

      HeatingGeek iv known actuators alone to cost more than the complete valve mate! I might be thinking of pump heads actually ? but you order a Drayton trv head and it will cost more than the complete valve and head . LOL I wondered what you meant by cleaning the 2 port body , surely you don’t brasso them lol

    • @HeatingGeek

  • @stewartharrod1706

    With the motorised valves how can you tell what they are doing regarding the lever on the side
    If it can be moved freely then its open ?
    Manual is open
    Auto Is in position at rest ?

    • @HeatingGeek
      @HeatingGeek  2 роки тому

      Don't use the lever for anything other than manually moving the valve. Using it for diagnosis isn't consistent. Loose means its open, but doesn't mean its open enough to make the contact on the microswitch.

    Hi heating geek, recently found your channel. I have subscribed and have used your affiliate links to buy a few tools and tool roll. Do you have an affiliate link for the crimps you use when replacing the synchron motor on the two and three port valves?
    I enjoy your thought process when diagnosing these faults.
    Look forward to you forth coming videos.

      HeatingGeek thanks dude. I changed those pcbs before and it was a double fused one. I got it from A10 boilers in cheshunt

    • @HeatingGeek
      @HeatingGeek  6 років тому +1

      The 2 fuse one goes more often. If the pump is larger than normal it can cause premature failure because it pulls to many amps through the relay on the PCB.

    If HW valve body is stiff then oiling it will only last short-term. A permanent repair requires new plate to valve body !

    • @HeatingGeek
      @HeatingGeek  4 роки тому

      No, thats not true. I have customers where I oiled there older 2 port when fitting a new boiler. That boiler was an older Vaillant ecotec. So pre 2012. The 2 port valve is still going strong.

      HeatingGeek I'm not a UA-camr but it seems when starting out to put everything you say in the video in the description, this helps your video to come up as related when people are searching I think.
      Your content is a bit more niche, not for the diy peeps anyways so that might explain low sub count at the moment, none the less it's very interesting for people like me who are still learning the trade and your channel will grow I'm sure of that. All the best mate.

    Really great videos. I notice that you prefer to repair rather than whole parts, ie synchron motor instead of whole power head etc. And I think thats a good thing, very honest etc.
    But trouble I've found is that very occasionally you repair something, and because of the age of it, it fails again, sometimes something else that could not have been foreseen goes wrong.
    To the customer who calls you back, that will be "he hasn't done the job properly" and I find it hard to explain to them that I'm trying to work in their best interest.
    So sometimes I think it pays to just replace completely, to avoid that possibility of a return visit, pissed off customer because its still not working, etc etc etc
