Most customers think a boiler service is more than enough. It's half a job and no most people don't want this done. Until I show the filthy pump that's cost a few quid to replace or the F and E tank full of crap. Then you will hear " you know what I can't remember when it was last drained, I...
FiremanT , seriously drain your heating system once a year and add inhibitor.
I'd say 50-60% of all breakdown I attend are due to dirty systems. Clogged pumps, heat exchangers, dirty sensors/thermisters and diverter valves!!etc etc
Your diverter valve is letting by. Basically when your hot water is called the central heating water heated and pumped from your heat exchanger should be diverted through your plate heat exchanger and make a circuit back around your boiler.

cheers mick for info , still puzzled why one minute is was ok and a s soon a new pump exactly the same and set at the varies speeds its happend and it filled up no problems with no slow venting of rads!! :roll:
pump definetly fitted the right way and upstairs heating circut is working better than before although the rads down stairs are still slow to warm up and three are not working have checked all manual rad valves on them!
will remove air seperater tomorrow and replace with new, the over pump does slow down when set to 1. A bit puzzled why it could be blocked as it has been drained twice today can only think on last fill up sludge ect from f and e has blocked up feed port to air seperater. Any thoughts??thanks
Dave
