Hi all First post - although I have been reading for a while.
I moved into my new house 3 months ago. I have a Honeywell ST1000 programmer which is just like this one (the brand name is different):
Recently I wanted to time the heating / water to come on in the morning but I've noticed that the clock mechanism doesn't work. Does this mean it's knackered? The switches work okay, and as I rotate the dial by hand, the heating / water comes on and off as the dial passes the pegs. I would have thought that if the unit is connected correctly, then the clock would be working at all times.
If the controller is bust, I could obviously get the one I've mentioned above from Screwfix. But I think it would be a good idea to put a modern digital one in. I don't want one with a built in thermostat because the controller is in the airing cupboard. Am I right in thinking they are pretty much universal? My heating system is (I think) fully pumped, having just two water pipes coming from the boiler, one pump in the airing cupboard, two automatic valves of some sort, one three way and one two way, all connected up to a Heatrae Sadia Megaflow (mains pressure hot water tank).
Sorry to sound like such a novice (I am by the way). Thanks for any help.
