I f anyone has a problem with the Chinese boiler and the little man will not replace just leave some bad remarks on the e bay and see how quick you will get good service without sending the damaged one back.I told him he must send the cash into my account so I can send it back to him.But first get your refund. Then give him the good news about British law and returns when bought on a internet site.The return of faulty goods cost is for the supplier. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Why would you want to bend metal like that when you can just buy a metal flue, and attach it straight to the heater I use?

because its custom made to fit the van and the heater! you cant buy a flue for a L5 you have to make them! plus it didnt cost me anything either!

The L5 is rubbish,

How do i know because 4 years ago I had one, then I bought an L10 not so bad, but not great

I now use these

Managed to get them from this supplier for £96.99 inc postage, but I thnik he has run out of stock, emial him to find out

Its the best heater I have ever used, simple works every time.

Just to emphasise dont buy an L5

Hi Alex

Can you tell me how low a flow rate these boilers will operate at and also how low do you have to adjust the flow rate regulator on the boiler to make it fire up?

Why do you think these are so much better than the L5? I've been using the L5 for 2 years and think its far from perfect, but what makes this boiler better?

Simon.

Some time ago I said how important flow rate was with these heaters as many use a 7 litres a min pump and a L5 this will give you luke warm water. A l 10 will boil that water and even burst the boiler if its not turned.One needs a flow rate higher so one can turn the controller to suit the boiler or a higher boiler rate and tone down the boiler flame.One needs to balance.Some ass told me at the time I did not know what I was talking about.But many have paid the price of not matching  boiler and pump. Flow rate is very important in these cases.Dont think if your boiler works well it is not a problem its just luck the two match.
           With a L10 they will  work well but can overheat, the thermostat will cut out  and will  switch off the boiler if its reaches a dangerous heat.If not the brass fittings of the heater will burst or hoses burst.In the case of the L10 Chinese unit these brass fittings E.G.(  PRESSURE valves) are very thin and not  of even thickness and not consistent.SO ONE UNIT IS GOOD AND ONE NOT SO GOOD.
