    Main Medway Super: Not so Super after all

    As the header says, I have the Main Medway Super running my water heater for bath, shower and kitchen basin etc. I don't have central heating radiators as I prefer the WarmAir system I currently have.

    Main Circuit Drain Valve?

    I just bought a Biasi 25c Combi boiler and I can't understand what the Main Circuit Drain Valve is for.
