What does error F22 mean on a Saunier Duval Condens boiler?

Error F22 on a Saunier Duval Condens boiler indicates high water pressure - the system pressure has exceeded 2.7 bar. This may be caused by overfilling or a faulty expansion vessel. You may need to release some pressure via a radiator bleed valve. If unsure or the fault persists, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.

How do I bleed radiators when I have a Saunier Duval boiler?

Switch off the boiler and allow the system to cool. Check the boiler pressure is between 1 and 1.5 bar. Starting with the radiator nearest the boiler, use a radiator key to open the bleed valve until you hear air escaping. Close the valve as soon as water begins to flow. Repeat for each radiator in your home. After bleeding all radiators, check the boiler pressure gauge and repressurise if necessary.

How does condensation mode work on a Saunier Duval boiler?

Condensing boilers recover heat from flue gases by condensing water vapour, which significantly improves efficiency. For optimal condensation, the return water temperature should be below 50°C. This allows the boiler to extract maximum heat from the combustion gases. Properly configured condensing operation can reduce gas consumption by up to 30% compared to older non-condensing boilers.

Should I leave my Saunier Duval boiler on all the time?

Modern condensing boilers like those from Saunier Duval are designed to be efficient when running on demand. Using a room thermostat and programmer to control when heating is on is generally more efficient than leaving the boiler running continuously. However, the boiler should remain powered on (even in summer) so that frost protection can activate if needed.

How does frost protection work on Saunier Duval boilers?

Saunier Duval boilers include built-in frost protection that automatically activates if the boiler is left unattended in cold conditions. The frost protection device will light the boiler when the temperature of the boiler water falls below 6°C. When the temperature reaches 16°C, the boiler stops. This cycle repeats as needed to prevent the system from freezing. For frost protection to function, the boiler must remain connected to the electrical supply and have gas available.

What is the pre-heating or WARM START function on a Saunier Duval boiler?

The WARM START or pre-heating function reduces waiting time when you turn on a hot water tap. In ON mode, the boiler maintains the heat exchanger at the required temperature between 5am and 11pm for instant hot water. In AUTO mode, the boiler learns your household patterns and pre-heats just before your typical first use of the day. In OFF mode, this function is disabled and you may experience a short delay before hot water arrives.
