Set the pump to 3 pretty much the same. What I have noticed is when the boiler and hot water are on at the same time the temperature on the front of the boiler was 65 and most rads in the house was warm not hot but when the hot waters off the temp goes back to 80 causing the rads to get a lot hotter. Is this right ?

ive also purchased a thermal imaging camera to get for any Heatloss but my experience with this is next to nothing. Can any one shed any light on these images ?

On an unrelated note which camera did you get? I'm looking at buying one soon.

Your boiler isn't large enough to do HW and the Rads at the same time. So you either need to stagger your times or leave your HW on 24/7. Or do a bit of altering with the wiring so it only heats the HW then switches back over to CH.

Does the house warm up fine when it's just doing the central heating and not the HW?
 
It’s the flir one pro. It plugs into your phone and you use it with the flir app. It works ok abit laggy but does the trick.

when the hot waters off the house can takes 2-3 hours to reach temp
 
Can you take them from outside when it’s cold with the house warm ?

On an earlier post you said you had turned the stat on the front of the boiler from max to the eco setting. Is this still the case. You now say boiler goes to 80 with just heating on and 65 with both on. You sure you’ve not got weather compensation fitted the only thing being the temps should be the other way round if you have. Boiler would default to 80 when hw demand but vary when no hw demand
