Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

In the user setting menu, you can set the temperature for when B mode kicks in, by default it was 21c (which I think explains why it was turning on at random times for me) - if you set it to kick in a a low temp, in theory it should stay on permanently?

Separate "issue" that I've experienced is that the boosted water storage pump will come on for 1 - 2 seconds at times when no taps are running, it seems to activate itself every 10mins or so. Anyone know what that is? It's fine during the day, but if we sleep with the doors open it gets annoying as you can hear it.
Weirdly - if you turn OFF the Xpelair machine, this doesn't happen
Same thing seems to happen with the person above me as I can hear it come on 
The boosted water storage pump comes on for a few seconds regularly in our apartment too. I found out the problem - it is most likely overflowing flushing tank in our en suite. There's constant smallish stream of water going down the toilet and the pump comes on to refill the tank every minute/couple of minutes. Very annoying especially during bedtime
Also it seems to be hard to fix - the tank is not reachable. Or at least I can't think of a non destructive way of accessing it.0 -

We were shocked to get the call, we'd no clue how close to finished the apartment was.
We're up on the 4th floor. Are their many people in the building right now?
the real 4th floor or the American 4th floor? (still dont understand why they did that...). I'm on the 5th floor (4th for real). Not sure how many people there are as I rarely see anyone. I know I have neighbours below, on all floors, because I can see items on the balconies but it's really quiet... not sure yet if it's really well insulated or if half of the apartments are empty 0 -

I havent had a proper look at it, it's probably time indeed! But I would need a really big boost as I feel like I'm in a greenhouse (but that was the plan so still no regret!) 0 -

If the heat recovery unit is still operating at default settings it will be tempering the incoming fresh air with the outgoing stale air. With the high performance glazing you're getting a lot of heat gain into the apartment. Therefore the air in the apartment is significantly warmer than the air outside.
The summer bypass setting on the heat recovery unit stops it from tempering incoming fresh air.
Typically in a two bed apartment the unit should be supplying air in at about 37 l/s. Depending on the unit this is typically about 35-50% of it's duty meaning with the "boost" there should be a significant increase in fresh air to the space which should cool it significantly from what you're currently experiencing.0 -

This sounds promising!! Hopefully they will be giving out some new move in dates over the next few weeks for those delayed+ the gym is re-opening on a phased basis soon, and construction re-starts on the 18th May.
I hope they make the cinema room bookable soon, would be a nice way to kill lockdown boredom.
Life is coming back to Vesta!
I wonder will they drop rents for the remaining units?0 -

I was one of the people waiting on one of the delayed apartments. Decided to change to one of the ones that are already ready as we have waited long enough and from what Vesta told us, it seems that even when they start construction again, the process will be significantly slower than pre-COVID days. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer for those that are delayed though; I feel your pain!!!0 -

I have researched this quite a bit and had several visits by the in-house plumbers (prior to lockdown). I even got the pump changed. It was fixed a bit, but still persists.
Learnings: The flush tanks are accessible by lifting the thin long panel by hand. There was a little trickle there, but even after fixing it, issue persisted. The pump kicks off now every 10-15 minutes due to gradual pressure drop. By now we became used to it so much, that we don't even notice it any more. Most likely, the plumbing has internal leakages at valves that don't really leak the water out, but circulates internally (into storage tank etc).0 -

Hi all,
Due to move into a standard one bed in 3 weeks time and hoping to buy some additional storage to keep in the 'Store' area. I know its quite small so I was wondering would anyone have approx measurements for the store room? It's not provided on the floorplan and vesta said they will need to send someone into the apartment to check but I am waiting quite awhile now and eager to get a few things sorted sooner rather than later!
Thanks 0 -

The store rooms vary quite significantly in size, shape, and number depending on the apartment. So, giving you measurements from my apartment wouldn't really be very helpful.0 -

Thanks a million. We’ve just been told so many mixed reviews that we both started getting concerned. Great to hear from someone living in the area as neither of us are from Dublin so we’re a bit unsure of areas that are safer than others etc like we would do in our own counties.
Really looking forward to moving there now and becoming part of the community!
Only seeing this now. Don't be concerned at all. The area is very quiet and feels very safe. The complex also has its own security, see the guy walk around the apartments a lot, especially at night. Its also very well lit around the apartments 0 -
Hi Everyone!
I've been reading this thread over the last couple of weeks and it's been really helpful! My application has been approved and I'm considering a standard two bedroom apartment. For those of you who have moved in, are you happy with everything and has it been a good decision?
I'm caught between two minds of holding off until August/September but am worried that all of the apartments will be gone by then. Are the buildings starting to fill up or does it look like most of the apartments are still being worked on?
For those of you living in the standard two bedrooms apartments, are you happy with the size of the space and the balcony?
And finally, do the apartments have washing machines, dryers and dishwashers? I'm pretty sure that the answer is yes but just want to be sure.
Thanks 0 -

Moved into a 2-bed standard about a month ago, and absolutely delighted with the place. Don't regret the decision at all!!!
In relation to holding off, that's a difficult one to answer.... COVID has slowed everything down, but one beds went like hot cakes, and I think 2 bed standards are close to being filled too, but can't say that with certainty. There are definitely apartments that are still empty, mainly 2 and 3 beds.
I find that there is loads of room in the standard 2 bed, but there are only two of us (and a dog). Not sure if you have kids and how you would find the space. Our balcony is definitely bigger than an average apartment, love it. Also, if you can, go for facing the park (south facing), so you get sun most of the day!!
The apartments have a dishwasher and washing/dryer combo. So, in other words, its crap at drying your washing (unless you want the machine on for hours and/or spend loads of money). We just leave our clothes on a clothes horse beside an open window in the second room. The apartments are warm and the clothes dry VERY quickly. The lease says you cannot dry clothes on the balcony, and they actually enforce it.
Hope all that helps. They are lovely apartments and a far higher standard than most of the city!0 -
