    Unvented cylinder reduced flow rate

    Unvented cylinder reduced flow rate

    alL hot outlets, balanced cold ok. Can only think tank connection at cold feed, possibly rust deposits from the old combination valve?(valve was rusty as hell its old and bulky) my first diagnosis of filter was wrong so don't want to start draining tank etc to find out I'm wrong again

Kinda messed up on my design and was in sealed system auto pilot mode not realising it was an open vented thermal store, so system has major air issues now, hoping it's not gonna be...

    Gravity to sealed question

    got an open vented electric thermal store I want to convert the heating system to a sealed system due to pipework being above the F&E. boiler is in airing cupboard and pipes drop from loft to rads, the boiler is 9kw so I need a plate heat exchanger, was wondering if taking one from a Combi would...

    You have a leak on installation pipework after 3 years?? Not a chance anyone will be returning to fix that for free

    To bung or drain down?

    Be mindful to keep only one open end as you change the valve, or swap really quick if possible.
