Modulation control line is Storage-focused design expands possibilities extended to new model


The Vitotrol 100-E Modulation Control from Viessmann is now available for new Vitodens 050-W gas condensing boilers, allowing end-users to wirelessly control their hot water and heating. Launched in 2023 for its Vitodens 100-W and 111-W unvented system and combi storage boilers, Viessmann has also released a Vitotrol 100-EH model for heat pumps, which communicates with the Vitocal 150-A and 151-A domestic air source heat pumps via low-power radio. “The success of the battery-powered load compensation Vitotrol


100-E control has been built on its operational effi ciency and ease of use for installers and customers,” says Chris Johnson, director of sales at Viessmann Climate Solutions UK. “It enables the boiler to operate at a lower fl ow temperature, which enables the boiler to condense more. This is when it operates most effi ciently. The positive feedback since we launched the Vitotrol 100-E means it was a simple decision to expand its compatibility to the Vitodens 050, as well as introducing a version that works with heat pumps.” The Vitotrol 100-E meets all Boiler Plus requirements, with no


outdoor sensor required. Plus, the manufacturer’s warranty matches the warranty of the boiler it connects to. The modulation control is also simple for customers to use via the ViCare app and through physical controls, with any boiler faults highlighted on the screen. Integrating directly with Viessmann’s WiFi-enabled One Base


software with no need for additional receivers, the Vitotrol 100-E does not require any wiring. These factors make it simple to install. The free-to-access ViGuide app, Viessmann’s service app for trade partners, takes installers through a guided set-up using simple QR codes, and provides an overview of the installation progress. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/625/58

The EsyTwin Mini from DAB Pumps is a twin-pump booster set specifi cally designed to work with the EsyBox Mini3. This system addresses the need for increased water pressure in residential and light commercial buildings, particularly in scenarios where a single pump may be insuffi cient. The EsyTwin Mini not only boosts fl ow rates but also incorporates redundancy features, ensuring reliable operation. The EsyBox Mini3 is recognised for its compact size, quiet


performance and energy effi ciency. It is suitable for a variety of applications, including enhancing water pressure for taps, showers, and garden irrigation systems. By combining two Mini3 units into one system, the EsyTwin Mini provides greater fl ow capacity and the potential for alternating duty cycles. An advantage of the EsyTwin Mini is its wireless communication


capability, which eliminates the need for hardwiring between the units. This simplifi es installation and future expansions.
