    Alpha Intec 28X intermittent heating.

    Anyone familiar with alphas? Not worked on one before. I had one a couple of days ago that had no heating but DHW was working ok. Problem started out intermittent then got worse until it didn't work at all. Heating would heat up the flow to max then shut down quite quickly until temp dropped...

    Open-vented system with no expansion pipe
