Viessmann Vitodens boilers

[Ted808]

I've not fitted any but i've been to repair a fair few...seems that if installed well, they ok, if on a badly flushed system - not such good news. ie More bad installations than bad boilers.
I think they good price and easy to work on with quite good teci backup.
The dial twisting to - and - fro- ing to commision can take a lot of getting used to tho!

thanks ted ya im not gonna touch the boiler myself and the plumber lives down the road so if something goes wrong i know where he lives :32:

am i right in understanding i will require a Scale Reducer/ corrosion guard/ filter in addition to the boiler itsself

looking at
Evolve Limebeater 22mm Inline Scale Reducer
Salamander Inline 22mm Corrosion Guard
FT1 Total Filter or SENTINEL System Filter 22mm

magnaclean pro 2

is this personal opinion or publicly accepted ... its about the same price as the TF1 are there any advantages one over the other?

personal, there both great filters

but i would go with the pro2 (slightly smaller than the tf and better design)

I asked about these boilers few months ago if i recall someone on here mentioned pcb's are well iffy.

I fitted two 050 Vitodens for a landlord before Xmas.Both had problems, heating not coming on,intermittingly, external Honeywell clock, I put it down to user error on the first one,but the second one did the same told him to get Viessmann out.They said they had faulty Pcb's and were changing them all.I wonder if that is why they are now supplying a free plug in timer with all the 050's

hammer that was me. Had prob with 2 pcbs on same site. Boilers weren't long outa warranty and supplier didn't entertain
Have to say boilers are pretty good. But my customer with d 2 faulty pcbs mightn't agree
