    Puma 80 CH problems Hot water but No central Heating

    The isolation valves have only been turned off today as we changed the diverter valve. Using a screwdriver against the pump and my ear I can hear the pump. But you may be correct it may be spinning two slow is this possible? The hot water side seems to work ok. Cheers Ian
