This video, specific to North America, provides an excellent introduction to the wall mounted Greenstar as sold in North America. Hope you do a followup with the new floor standing Greenstar!
No easy way to wire an external circulator pump to assist the internal pump, except with a relay of some sort and the line voltage to the thermostat or a 110VAC replay using a signal from the internal pump. Also I'm going nuts trying to understand what "3rd party dry contact" is supposed to mean, there has to be voltage coming from #2 and #4 otherwise the would not need a jumper!
Why desperate pipes for flue and ventilation. Weird. UK models manage this with one pipe using a pipe in a pipe and therefore only have to drill one hole to outside. So backwards to have separate pipes
WHY is Bosch showing PVC pipes used to vent exhaust from their boiler??? Yikes. PVC pipes are only approved for temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The C in PVC is Chloride, PVC pipes start to emit dangerous gasses at 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Exhaust from boilers can exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, the PVC pipes will start to degrade, turn color, and fail. How does Bosch not know this???
How do I hire these guys in the video? Because I have one of these worthless pieces of shit hanging on my wall and you can’t just hire a regular plumber to install it or fix it it needs to be a specialist. Not very convenient when something goes wrong in the middle of the night in the winter. STAY AWAY from this boiler!!!!! By the way this is the second one I’ve bought in the last 5 years.

An expansion tank is not mentioned. Is one required with this boiler?
yes
I have a problem =/. The bar indicator shakes about 1 minute after i use the hot water. Also pump noise changes. It makes a different noise.

Excellent video!!
Thank you. Where can I ACTUALLY download brochures and spec sheet?

Detailed and practical. Thanks...
Is zone control panel included when boiler is purchased?
No, but you can use a generic "3rd party" thermostat. Hook to terminal 2 and 4 under the interior cover of the control module.
gallons and BTU's....why not litres and KW?
+Denis Natea Why make it simple when you can make it complex...
Where is the greenstar 151 made in?

That is some difference in Code from two places. Firecode and building code,
Concentric Venting? your asking for trouble.
Doesn't apply to the uk. We use different regs. Copper is best

It’s called a condensing boiler. Exhaust temp doesn’t exceed 125 typically.
