urgent help needed

If the hot water circuit is wizzing around the rad but not the cylinder then if ther is a none return its between the rad and the cylinder ... Just a thought but if if the issue is a none return and the flow is reversed would that cure the issue?

i know this isnt any help but we will not reuse gravity pipework that we cant inspect completely on to fully pumped sytems weve had to much trouble with them in the past, did it circulate when you powerflushed ?

mains flushed not power flushed seemed ok but it may have just been going through the heatleak rad .

Good luck mate ... If the custard had no bother before you landed then it's something to do with the conversion... Quiz them a bit more before you do to much drastic stuff ...

what a day removed part of the bathroom floor and the pipe boxing in the bathroom also part of the kitchen ceiling. never seen anything like the piping i found.old 28mm circs had been cut and capped above a tee the 22mm from the tees went to the bathroom radiator thus bathroom rad hot when hw on.found the cyl circs piped in 22mm both on the old rad flow like a one pipe radiator but system was a 2 pipe - customer said it took hrs for water to get hot. i am still amazed how the old boiler ever worked.the only thing i am worried about now is how reliable the danfoss rf cylinder stat is.

Did you repipe the circs to the cylinder? Sound like a bit of a mess

i hope you have a magna clean or similar on the boiler it sounds like a real old system youve put the boiler on
