FLUE GAS READINGS ecotec pro

[sammathias]

routine service today on a ecotec pro 28 approx 8 years old. Basically the boiler would only stay fired up for about 45secs before cycling on and off on max rate. This wasnt long enough for me to get an accurated fga reading.

Gas rate and pressure was good. Am i right in saying could potentailly be a plate hex partial blockage?

So it wasn't a service it was a breakdown

Does it do it on heating as well as hot water?

How was the gas rate and pressure good if you cannot get it into max rate?

Did you test with the hot tap open ?? Normally test mine with a bath or kitchen tap

Had a basin overflow ooops

Not an accurate reading though unless it is in max rate.

No no. It was a service. 45seconds is enough time for me to check gas pressure pal.... And i checked gas rate at 1/2ft3/rev and it was all good.

Hot water is always max rate unless it shuts off

No worries mate. I like mine for at least 5 minutes on full rate before I do anything. Don't want anything biting me in the bottom later on. Definitely sounds like a circulation issue.
