Question:

ferroli boiler Keeps cutting out?

When the hot water tap is switched on, the boiler fires up for 5 seconds then cuts out for 5 seconds then fires up for 5 etc. etc. etc. Water too cold for a bath

Answer:

is there enough flow thru the boiler.?I have ferroli boiler and the recent really cold weather (water mains is about 4 degreesC) made us keep half closing the taps to get a hot bath if you go too far you either get the water so hot it trips the hi level cut out inside the boiler. Or not enough flow to operate the boiler itself. My cure was to fill the bath (taps on full but luke warm water) then do the final top up from the shower part of mixer tap which gives reduced flow but really hot without tripping boiler stat. I have already decided to change for better boiler as soon as can afford one buy a boiler from a cold place manufacturer they know about these things
