Thank you so much for this, got totally confused by the instructions that came with the unit. Your video explained the system it uses very clearly. Some senseless person (not me) had programmed it to have heating on for five hours, same for hot water (who could possibly use that much hot water lol).., so will now be saving myself a lot of money I had been paying for gas. I have the Drayton Lifestyle Dual Channel LP722Si But it works the same way.

It's not the worst by a long way! But it's old technology, that's why it's so cumbersome. Having to separately time the heating periods for weekdays and weekends . . . just buy a new one, I did. So much better than Lifestyle.

@traceypatterson307310 жыл бұрын
Brilliant! I've misplaced my User Manual for this Timer! Then, when I had my Worcester Boiler serviced recently, my Engineer said that 'he'd adjusted the timing' - But since BST on 30th March,'14 my Drayton is an hour out of sync'! So although this is great help video - I've now learned about the Holiday & Boost settings! Meanwhile, I'll will have to go & change ALL of my own settings by an hour! C'est la vie . .!
@FissionChips8 жыл бұрын
If it's an hour in front of BST the quickest remedy if you don't want the hassle of reprogramming is to switch OFF the C/H system for one hour and then switch back on. When I say switch off I mean of course switch off from the mains plug socket supplying power to the system NOT the programmer,

All very well to say the clock is set automatically, but what do you do if it doesn't change GMT to BST? I fiddled around with it and managed to find a clock setting by pressing the Select button (and making a few voodoo incantations). Somehow, I managed to change it to the correct time, but I still have no idea what the date setting is. What a dog's breakfast this controller is!
@geraldj20627 жыл бұрын
Just fitted a Lifestyle branded version, and will wait to see if it switches automatically when clock changes. It's replacing a 15 year old Grasslin programmer- on that, there's a recess where you jam a pencil in to switch between summer & winter time. I wish these units had their fixing screws (to backplate) on topside; would make life so much easier when removing! Shame there's no option to programme all week with same programme.

Thankyou, my LP522 unit seems to come on ok, timer etc ok. But when I switch the HTG off, the boiler seems to remain on for a bit? I suspect the *boost* mode may be the culprit and I will watch its functioning very carefully to test my hypothesis. I have set the b=0 just in case it is. This is a new system installed a few years back.👌

how many hours a day do i need to have the hot water thermostat on to enjoy a couple of hot showers and washing up my dishes? At the moment is set on 5hours a day which looks a bit excessive to me...
@FissionChips8 жыл бұрын
It probably is but don't forget your hot water cylinder has a thermostat and it won't allow the system to 'fire up' in those 5 hours if the temp in the cylinder is already satisfied.
@geoffringham10516 жыл бұрын
Susana Artime I set my hot water to come on first thing in the morning for an hour and a quarter. This easily gives two showers and plenty of washing up water for the day. I personally don't need a pm setting for the hot water to come on again as the morning heating time is suffient for the whole day. So I programme the hot water PM timer to show on and show off at the same. ie both the on and off timer settings show the same time. Thats this appliance's equivelent to turning the PM timer off. In this video the guy demonstrates this method about half way through using 12pm as the demo time although his demo is for the central heating.

As it has 3 settings Do I ??? Set program one for 6.30am on to 8am off, program two 12 on then 12 off then program 3 4pm on 5pm off for example. And, how does heating work to cover from 6am to 10.30 pm for example. Do I?, Program one 6am on to 22.30 off?, Program two 12 on 12 off?, then Program three I am stuck do I do same as Program one or other?. Sorry, if I sound dim but not techy and would like to understand. Really appreciate your patience in advance.

Hi hoping you can help I have the above and it used to work fine set at the times required. I have a small radiator fitted in the downstairs toilet by a cowboy unfortunately. He drained my tank in the box room and even went up into the loft where there is another tank. I have no idea what he did but now the timer doesn't work neither does the water heat up even if switched on manually. I'm having to use the switch in the bedroom by the tank which I'm sure is for back up. I'm sure it's something minor but he's not answering my calls. When he was fitting the radiator he was facetiming someone for advice... please help.

Hello - I have a slightly different version of the LP522 (maybe an older version, with square buttons). The water in my house gets way too hot (uncomfortable, and probably capable of scalding you). so I either have cold water if I don't set it on the display, or water that can do you damage - is there any way of setting the water to only heat up to a certain temperature?

@peoplehear5 жыл бұрын
@@johnausten574 Hi john, your question predates a bit of an impasse. I understand you want a constant temperature which in itself would require the heating to be permantly on but yet u wish for it not be on constantly. I would suggest either as you itstated to set the thermostat to 20 degrees give or take two degrees and leave heating on which would allow the system to get up to this temp then switch off for an amount of time it felt it was looking this constant and turn back on(outside temp pending taking into account thermal loss) or I would set it to have the three programme time zones to cone on in four hour bursts say 7-11, 1:30-5:30 and 7-11 again with the therm again on 20 at least then as you initially requested it is not on all the time but the house is keeping to the 20 degree mark 80-90% is the day which I think may conserve power/money for yourself. I hope that may help!

I have a similar system to this but ‘British Gas’ - but it doesn’t stipulate hot water or central heating when trying to programme to the timer. So i can only program either CH or HW to a set time and not the other. So I have hot water set to come on three times a day and then if I need the heating on - I have to set it to ‘ON’ - and just use the thermostat to control the heat. The water seems hotter than normal so something isn’t right. I just want to keep my bills down - so I would ideally like to set the heating to the timer too but it doesn’t seem possible. What am I doing it wrong? Thank you
