    High limit stat tripping on a warmflow oil boiler

    I know it's very hard to know for sure but what about the pump, increasing the pump speed sorted the problem for about 2 years.

    High limit stat tripping on a warmflow oil boiler

    Ye I'm told the Boiler is probably kettling ,ye I know what you mean Best about the stats, years ago I've saw warmflow boilers with imit stats fitted, but now seems to be their own. Just a hassle having to stock or go get a warmflow stat, if things were kept more universal, be easier all round.

    Ital, danfoss, riello oil pumps

    Good morning, I've partially asked this question before but I will ask again, has anyone had any experience of Ital oil pumps, they do both the r40 and rdb so you would only have to stock 1 type of pump for riello. The other thing is this can definitely be done but I've never did it myself, it's...

    Riello and Ital oil pumps

    I think we all agree that riello oil pumps could be a lot better, especially the ones made a few years back. Danfoss are better and I did see a danfoss fitted to a riello before but being honest didn't look closely enough to see how it was done. I see that ital oil pumps are meant to be a direct...
