New toys are always fun. 

Sorry if I missed it, but did you post details of your pressure relief valve?

I’m looking to fit one to mine as an experiment. Save me running both pumps all the time. Any chance of a link please?

Thanks P@F.

This is the one I use at the moment  2 bar about 35psi it opens up .
You can get a 3 bar over the counter at the plumbers merchant , these open up at about 55psi , both work well but the 2 bar works better with my setup by opening a little bit sooner .

Pressure relief valve is far easier mate. Plus mine does go into standby mode when I’m walkjng back to the van sometimes.

it goes into "half heat " mode but soon fires back up when you plug the return valves in....if yours is shutting down then you must walk VERY SLOWLY back to the van.....

By the time I’ve wiped out a dozen plant pots and garden gnomes, and gone back to unhook the hose off wheelie bins it definitely goes into standby.

Jonny if you haven’t ordered the PRV yet don’t get the 2 bar one go with the 3 bar , I had to up the flow today and didn’t get extra at the head , all it does is open up the prv as well as the brush head , the spring inside is just too weak I think.
My 3 bar is going back on tonight!

Thanks for the heads up mate. I’ve ordered the 2 bar, but I’ll get the 3 bar too. I’ll
Have a tinker and see what works best.

Does the 3 bar also have half inch female threads?

[P @ F]

Yes but you can get them with any configuration MF ,MM, FF
3 bar you can get at any plumbing centres

[P @ F]

Arghh , mine won’t stay shut now !
Got the 3bar in van , might change it over now !!!

[P @ F]

All swapped and working like a goodun again !

You’ll need to work till 2pm now to get finished mate.

Better flow and for some reason hotter water now !
But I do have 3 x 4 bedders with Connies  left to do 😡
At least I don’t have to tinker tonight though !

I wonder if the 2 bar PRV was opening up slightly during use? Meaning some hot water was getting diverted back to your tank when you didn’t want it to be.

[P @ F]

Thats exactly what was happening , the other thing that was happening was the valve was not shutting fully when the flow was returned to brush head , that is why the 3 bar is better as the spring inside is stronger and shuts off every time now , 2 bar must have been too close to system pressure at normal operation .

[P @ F]

You might be alright though as Plumweb sent me a 3 bar first time round in error , they did then send the 2 bar at no charge and told me to keep the 3 bar aswell so win , win
