mad install, at least I thought it was.

[lame plumber]

went to a rayburn 460 kb today, installed 2009 only serviced once since then (apart fm today). Took 3 hours to break out baffles, replaced photocell, electrodes, over heat stat on boiler that kept tripping.

Only at the end of the afternoon did I wonder why the boiler side ran was running without being turned on at range programmer on front of rayburn? Looked in cyl cupboard and hey presto another programmer operating the s plan on the system, but even with everything turned off the pump continued running, until I turned off the switched spur next to it!!!!!!!!!!!!. So 2 programmers and the pump on its own switch aaaaaaaaaaaghh, I informed the owner they might need to call back their plumber/sparky to set up a working system on one programmer. I left the rayburn workng fine on its programmer,bugger knows if it heated water or rads as designed, waiting for a call now

wondered how croppie deals with big leaks

Could be that the programmer on the boiler is bust and disconnected and someone has fitted a regular programmer to save having to purchase a rip-off Rayburn programmer and not done it properly. Have seen that before.

programmer on boiler and one in cupboard installed at same time according to owner! rayburn programmer costs £70 last time I got one so no different to Honeywell prices, and that was direct fm AGA

Could have just been due to availability.

Could the second programmer be because of a 2 zone heating system? The Rayburn programmer only operates 1 heating zone.
