  not happy the paloma only seems to want to make boiling water when i turn the temprature down it cuts the burner of back up to full temp and kicks in again? can anyone shed any light ? i think im gunna stick to immersion this is well anoying

Probably why ya m8 gave it ya

It sound like your water flow is to low.

iv got it on full power and it works on full heat the warter is boiling but when i turn temp down the burner just cuts of and i get cold comeing through? im starting to think these boilers are a nightmare i wish i got given it it cost me £115 and was paid for on bacs

You can get the same heater for £95 off eBay.

has it been ajusted inside for low pressure use??

i had to do this with my L5

[Deangsi]

ahhh no probley not how do i adjust it? there is hope yet

[R.C Property]

i will have to look it up to see to be 100% sure

but on the water inlet if you follow that to the water flow controll there there might be 1 or 2 screws to adjust the flow,

ok i shall look further into it thanks richard iv looked into it on google and cant seem to find any info on it

just looking through the manual for it now

if the water control unit looks like this, then it looks like it could be the srew on the side just about the thread, that is the flow adjuster

[R.C Property]

another thing you might have to do if you have a digital flow controller is to turn the flow rate up on that,
when fitting a heater in a friends window cleaning van he used to work on 35-40, after fitting the heater and had the temp set to low we had to turn the flow rate upto at least 45 fro it to fire up.

this is how we did it,

have gas turned on, turn water on so it flows like you was working and then turn up the controller 1 at a time to see when it fires up, then turn water off wait for it all to cut out then turn water on and see if it fires up.

also check to see if you have the right regulator as if there is to much gas going through then this could also cause problem.

1)when you turn the heat down are you turning the water down to match it
2) i had to up my calibration on my pump,im guessing its the cold water,density all that,i have a L5 IT WOULD NOT FIRE UP ON the normal calibration i had to up it

Hi Richard I have looked at the water regulator and it is different there is a little screw on it but doesn't look like that one. It also only works on full pump power or the burner cuts of very anoying perhaps if I run it on realy hot and use my other pump to pump some cold in to the pipe after the boiler to cool it a bit lol

[Deangsi]

My pump runs on a mapelin dial so no calibration, iv tried it on various speeds etc and no joy I mite have a duffer but if it was no good would it even make boiling water? I dnt get it

that one in the picture might be from a diffrent model then,

try tightening the screw all the way in and then slowly open in and try that,

your father-in-law is a gas engineer? can he not look at it
