Finally got round to fitting one of these today Halstead ace out and Baxi 630 in , first impressions is not good, no jig ,new filling link is a faf to fit and s- ite design, commissioning it is a ball ache 7 minutes purge cycle not a lot of good when the fur kin pump is siezed grrr , so Soded off first job back after 2 weeks off had to leave it switched off until tomorrow , didn't have the patience to start pulling the pump out of a brand new boiler at 5. 30pm ,- really hope these dont perform like the intecs they do look similar inside this I why I left it so long . Sorry chaps rant over

get baxi out phone up on the works number tomorrow and they will be there Thursdays

you tried manually giving it a spin via the slot?
 
did you notice the baxi filling loop is the same as the worcesters :D

tbh i never use / fit on board filling loops find there too much hassle and the customer cant top them up / has problems with them
 
In a fashion Scott i was getting on with other stuff while it was doing it got the various codes needed then hey presto pump goosed I'm guessing it wouldn't reset as to much tempreture rise . Cheers kop

I got one for you. Customer choose a Nabis bar mixer from Part Centre. I order it, go and collect it, take it out of a sealed box. Has Bristan stamped all over it. Customer was well happy. :p:D:D

yep same with city i flow range made by bristan
 
125 is low flow and grund had / have a bad batch of pumps sticking nornmally manually turn them / spin to free them then book the job in
 
I've fitted 6/7 not had a problem.

A jig is only good when you haven't got a lot of room underneath otherwise it doesnt make life too difficult.

The purge mode is no different to the likes of the vaillant. Gives you a few minutes to tidy up or cement up the flue etc.

Not a big fan of the filling loops not because they are a faf as they are easier to fit than the old ones. But I liked to leave it filling and have a run round just to check for leaks. It is good for customers though as it's pretty much fool proof for them.

All manufacturers have problems with new boilers I've had Worcester vaillant viessman and ideal all come faulty out of the box. Phone them up and they will come out next day. It's no different to us really we have problems it's how we deal with them that sets us apart from the others.
 
Worked quite well in the end bud easy to set up and quiet in operation connected a Honeywell T4 wireless programmable thermostat for boiler plus, for the money theres worse out there. Cheers kop
 
I had problems with 2 baxi intecs I fitted and i have worked on a loads more they always seem to play up that's what put me off the 600 series they are very similar inside , I have still been fitting the duo - tec and platinum as my Landlord type boiler but you have to move with the times I guess and you dont know what they are like till you try one problems out the box are never a good start , on the plus side it's got a metal casing time will tell Scott . Cheers kop

No mate you get a add on plastic spaced clip bar but I didn't use it this time as had a vertical flue so no worries failing the flue with the pipework

On a Friday aswell

I assumed pipes in talon clips would be too big for the void behind the boiler.
Have you fit the in flue weather comp on any?

I dont fit baxi anymore after speaking to one of their engineer who said off the record they are crap. The other reason i got fed up with the pin on the diverters leaking through. One of them caused a major problem with the electric garage door.

I cant disagree mate I have had diverter issues but on the whole all within warranty and minor inconvenience to me getting the system clean a decent mag filter and good quality inhibitor is the best defence I find. Kop

No mate I fit a Honeywell T4 or T4r to get boiler plus , I find weather comp causes nuisance call backs for me as customers cant get it in their heads that the rads may not always be as hot when the heating is in heating mode.
 
It wasnt a minor issue with the garage door, it was an electric one the diverter leaked blew the fuse then tripped the main board which was in the garage which coincidently was shut when it happened.

They had to drill a hole in the door to get in ,all this whilst their mum was staying in the house who was on super ill .

They wanted compensation as i talked them into a baxi lol.

Not your fault mate I guess the boiler could of had its own dedicated circuit with a sole circuit breaker but it's easy to say that after the problem has happened, will see how these perform over time. All the best Kop
 
kop may i ask why the filter went below and not above even if it meant dropping the boiler an extra inch?
