The current rage for cold fill only machines is all very well for bio
powders and combi boilers, but some of us want a machine that has a hot
fill. And before it is suggested that a machine never gets to draw hot
water, that is not the case with my current machine which invariably
fills up with hot water.
Hence is it possible to convert a cold fill to a h & c fill machine???
Has anyone done it??

Just add another fill valve to the back of the machine, tee into the
cold fill pipe on the inside, and use a toggle switch or timer relay
to switch between the two.

Fill valve should be about £5 from a spares place or free off an old
WM at the local tip.

cheers,
Pete.
