Hi everyone!
I i have a problem, I recently created a downstairs toilet for a customer. They wanted to have a towel radiator in the room that was run off the central heating. Just above the area where the new bathroom has been made is the existing bathroom, which has a towel radiator also, so for my feeds for the new one, I just tee'd off the pipes upstairs. Once everything was plastered and about to fit the new radiator, the customer informed me that the guys who did there recent extension had told her that there was only enough power to run the two new radiators!
My problem is that the new towel radiator isn't getting any heat. The flow pipe is getting hot but doesn't seem to be getting round the radiator. I have tried everything I know to try and solve this, balancing all the radiators, ran chemicals through to see if it was any blockages, taken the radiator off to check to check the valves are ok, drained and bled the system numerous times.
the only solution I can think of is to try and change the pump from a 5m to a 6m to give it that bit extra circulation? Any advice would be great!
its a conventional boiler with feed tanks and is on 10mm microbore for the most part, the towel radiator in the existing bathroom is 15mm and my new feeds are 15mm
