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 |

om... I've had it for about month now and a couple of questions. 1.

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. 2.

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

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