Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30Si
 

I've had it for about month now and a couple of questions.

1. Are there any back-of-a-fag-packet ideas about whether the use of the
'ECO' button makes a worthwhile saving given the extra convenience of
quicker hot water?

2. The hot water dial on the boiler has an 'e' between settings 4 and 6.
The manual does not mention it. Is it considered to be an optimum
position? What does it stand for?

many thanks

I`d imagine it will save a reasonable amount of energy - with it off it`ll
be keeping water hot all the time for you. I suppose it depends how much
how water you actually use - in my house we use a small amount 4-5 times a
day tops (electric shower :-) ). How long does it take for hot water to
start coming out of the taps, and how big a difference does it make having
ECO on and off?

Don't know about the saving but ours takes a lot longer for hot water to
come through when ECO is on. So much so that we don't use it.

Yep, I think it's what Worcester consider as the optimum, don't know what it
stands for though.

I've been trying both settings for a while and I'm finding the same thing.
