Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 836 Boiler Details

The Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 836 is a combi boiler equipped with Sitherm Pro™ technology, an intelligent combustion regulation system. This advanced feature, based on adaptive Siemens combustion optimisation, automatically fine-tunes the gas-air ratio, eliminating the need for manual adjustments within a gas family and ensuring optimal efficiency and performance. This precision contributes to its robust operation in various settings.

The boiler boasts a user-friendly interface, providing easy navigation through menus and settings. Users can effortlessly adjust desired flow temperatures for heating and domestic hot water (DHW), and activate or deactivate functions with intuitive controls. The display clearly indicates burner modulation rates, current system pressure, and active operational modes, enhancing user convenience and system transparency.

For domestic hot water, the EcoTEC Plus 836 includes a beneficial Comfort mode. This feature keeps the DHW generation ready, delivering hot water instantly without any waiting period. It can be conveniently toggled on or off directly from the boiler's control panel or through a connected room temperature control, adapting to user preferences and saving energy when not needed.

An integrated automatic anti-Legionella function is a key safety aspect. If the temperature in any connected shift-load cylinder drops below 50 °C for 24 hours, the boiler proactively heats it to 70 °C. This measure is crucial for preventing Legionella growth, although users are advised that water can be extremely hot during this cycle.

The EcoTEC Plus 836 offers advanced control capabilities, allowing seamless integration with various room controls, such as the Vaillant sensoROOM pure (VRT 50/2). This enables precise time-dependent heating control, detailed weekly planning, and the option for weather-compensated operation when an outdoor temperature sensor is installed, optimising energy use based on external conditions.

For enhanced smart home integration, the boiler can connect to the myVAILLANT Connect (VR 940f) communication unit (Gateway). This gateway facilitates remote control and detailed monitoring via the myVAILLANT pro app, providing access to status history, operating modes, active components, and comprehensive system data from a mobile device, offering unparalleled convenience.

The boiler incorporates multiple critical safety features to protect both the appliance and the household. These include mechanisms for electrical supply failure, an overheating safety shutdown, and a built-in frost protection device that automatically activates the pump and burner during cold conditions. A specific safety feature also halts operation in case of a condensate drain blockage, such as from ice.

Beyond its core functionality, the EcoTEC Plus 836 provides valuable energy monitoring data. Through the appliance, system control, or app, users can view approximate figures for energy consumption, yields, and efficiencies. This information, available in various timeframes, empowers users to track and manage their energy usage more effectively.

Vaillant supports the EcoTEC Plus 836 with a comprehensive two-year parts and labour guarantee, with options for extended coverage under specific annual servicing conditions by a qualified professional. The boiler's participation in the Benchmark Scheme underscores its commitment to high standards of installation, commissioning, and regular maintenance for sustained safety and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 836 Boiler, and we answer them below.


What should I do if I smell gas?
Immediately avoid rooms with gas, open doors and windows for ventilation, do not use naked flames or electrical switches, close the emergency control valve or main isolator, warn others, evacuate the building, and contact emergency services and the gas supply company from outside.

How do I check the heating system pressure?
You can check the filling pressure on the basic display, shown as a value or a five-level symbol. Alternatively, navigate to MENU → INFORMATION → Water pressure. The recommended filling pressure is at least 1 bar (0.1 MPa). If it drops below 0.8 bar (0.08 MPa), heating water needs to be topped up.

Is annual maintenance required for the EcoTEC Plus 836 boiler?
Yes, an annual inspection by a competent person is crucial for ensuring safe, reliable, and long-lasting operation. This is also a prerequisite for maintaining your two-year parts and labour guarantee.

What is Comfort mode for domestic hot water, and how do I activate it?
Comfort mode keeps domestic hot water generation ready, providing hot water at the desired temperature without waiting. For products without a connected sensoROOM pure (VRT 50/2), activate it via MAIN MENU → CONTROL → Comfort mode. If sensoROOM pure is connected, activate the warm start (comfort function) on the room control.

How do I temporarily switch off the heating mode (summer mode)?
If no sensoROOM pure (VRT 50/2) is connected, press and hold the button for at least three seconds from the basic display. If a sensoROOM pure is connected, set the lowest target room temperature on the room temperature control. The frost protection remains active.

What is the significance of the Benchmark Scheme?
Vaillant is a licensed member of the Benchmark Scheme, which aims to improve installation, commissioning, and servicing standards for domestic heating and hot water systems in the UK. Installers are required to complete a Benchmark Checklist to ensure compliance with Building Regulations, which is vital for warranty validity.

How can I access product status information via a mobile app?
You can download the free myVAILLANT pro app. On the boiler's display, navigate to MENU → SETTINGS → Installer level → QR service code and scan the QR code with the app. This provides details like status history, operating mode, active actuators, and system information.

What should I do if a fault code (F.XXX) appears on the display?
Consult the relevant "Fault codes/limp home mode codes" section in the manual and try the recommended measures. If the fault persists after up to three reset attempts (pressing and holding the reset button for more than three seconds), contact a competent person.

How does the boiler protect against freezing?
The EcoTEC Plus 836 has a built-in frost protection device. With gas and electrical supplies on, if the boiler water temperature drops below 12 °C, the pump will operate. If the temperature doesn't reach 15 °C after 30 minutes, or drops to 5 °C, the burner will activate until 35 °C is reached.

What is the maximum domestic hot water temperature I can set?
The domestic hot water temperature adjustment range for the Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 836 is between 35 and 65 °C.
