Hi,
I have an old Bermuda back boiler, and 7 radiators (6 with thermostatic valves, and one that doesn't which is upstairs in the bathroom). There are 3 radiators on the ground floor, and 4 on the first floor. The problem is that I don't get any hot water unless the heating is on at the same time as the water. I've tried turning off all thermostatic valves on the radiators, except from the bathroom which doesn't turn off. This makes no difference even if I leave the water/heating on for more than 10 hours. The water would only start getting hot if I turn on at least 3 of the radiators (not including the bathroom which can't be turned off). I also don't have a central thermostat. I have a gravity fed gas central heating system. I hope someone can give me some advice on how I can get hot water without having the heating on. Thanks.
