Can't Get Peco Boiler To A Rolling Boil.

Have it replaced by your supplier.

After a couple more tests i may have to John

I say don't waste any more of your (and people here) time on it. You have been more than patient. Time for your supplier to step in.

I don't feel i have been wasting time on people here but either way i am currently running two final tests.I have the peco boiler wrapped in a lagging jacket covering the bottom and sides,the lid is on loosely to help it reach a boil quicker,if and when it does reach a boil i will remove the lid completely and see if it maintains the boil for any length of time,fingers crossed.

Update: Using the setup above it reached boiling in 60mins and got to a vigorous boil,however as soon as i removed the lid it died down rapidly,i put the lid back on half way and it still died,went back down to its normal 96.5C in less than five minutes from boiling and stayed there. I am now going to try the silver/bubble wrap insulation,i should be able to get that to fit better than the lagging jacket and see if that can get it to hold a boil. 

Note: This is for informational purposes only should anyone else run into similar issues with the same peco boiler

At this point, it seems clear that it doesnt work. Those heater elements may be dodgey.
I would just get it replaced.
