Yesterday,
I looked at a megaflo indirect unvented. I have a couple of related questions to it that you kind people will be able to help me with.
First of all, I don't touch these time bombs unless I've got the manual, I now have it because I printed it out from the internet the customer has lost his copy.
The problem is that he has heating but no hotwater and has to heat it directly. He's been doing this for 6 months and has used 1000 yep! 1000 units.
Initially, I though 2 port valve, but I have my doubts, I played with the valve and can hear it moving. (both of them) So, I thinking a thermal cut out. (its never going to be that simple)
My questions are two fold:
First, the 2x two port valves are in the loft eaves on the first floor along with the pump, the megaflo is on the ground floor. In the back of my mind, I only have to drain down below the first floor but I have something niggling away at me. This is the easy part to answer.
Secondly, Normally theres a feed and expansion tank on an open vented system, in this case there is an expansion tank. A pressure gauge all next to the two port valve and pump. I've looked in my book on unvented but can see no reference to it, done some searching on the internet again no luck.
Do I drain down normally? How does this work? can you poke me in the right direction? I know that I need to research this a little and have booked the job for next monday. Please in your replies try and avoid too much terminology......by all means use words containing one sylabul
