Vokera pre heating problem.

[Barry Wilson]

I have a Vokera Vision 30C and when using a tap 3 ft from the boiler I can see the temp of the hot water in the boiler display. Most times it is less than 30 degC and the boiler takes maybe 30 seconds to heat the water. I have pre heat enabled, P shown in the display, but the water is never at 50degC to start with. Is this normal and why is the water not maintained at 50 degC.

I’m not familiar with this boiler, but if you head over to diynot.com, there’s a forum member who works for vokéra and other members who have worked on them, who’ll know a damn site more than I do.

Preheat doesn’t maintain the heat when being used. It only keeps a certain amount maintained at the boiler, so in theory takes less time to reach the tap.
