Hi All
My sisters CH was never great but since my little brother started twiddling knobs in the airing press it has taken a turn for the worst
firstly there seems to be no way of selecting hot water & heating or heating only
in the picture there is 2 pipes goint to what i assume is the coil inside the tank for hot water
there is a motorised valve probably to shut off the hot water part of the system but no aparant way of switching it
Ch Controller is a sunvic & just looks like a timeclock approx 7 years old
if i manually shut off the gate valve at the bottom of the picture the radiators heat up better (still not quite hot )
but no hot water
if i allow the hot water through the coil the radiators are noticably cooler even if left on for hours
one thing that i dont get is why is there a 1/2 in pipe joining the 2 coil pipes ( in the middle of the picture ) should the valve on this be open or closed
its a vokyera boiler and seems to be undersized for a four bed dormer bungalow
any help or advice on what this middle pipe is for would be great
Thanks
