I've had a reasonably large evohome installation (2 controllers, DHW, 23 rads, UPS2 pump, 3 towel rads) for a while now. I like the controllability but have a couple of questions:
I've got used to the HR92s whirring but not the whooshing sound that the water makes, which I presume is caused by the valves only opening a small amount(?) I've tried all 3 pump settings and selecting compensation on/off but without making a huge difference. All the pipework and boiler have been replaced but we had no whooshing noises before. Is this an Evohome "feechur"?
The controller keeps losing (and restoring) connection to the DHW thermostat. The distance is about 30ft and a couple of solid walls. Is this a common problem?
I put the towel rads on a separate circuit, with their valve controlled by a regular 7 day timer, but I'd like to use Evohome to control it. Can this be done as pure timer control (no temperature measurement) with a BDR91?
I'm struggling to accept that balancing is possible or necessary with such a dynamic system, where each rad opens unique amounts at unique times, so am tempted to fully open all the lockshield valves in the hope that it would reduce the whoosh noise. What have others done?
