    gloworm 18hxi

    ive looked at the pump seems ok and i flushed system all seemed clean water. Boiler also makes a kettling noise when temp rises above its set point then cuts out but with no fault code and will repeat this cycle when it cools to 30c hence not only long enough to provide enough energy to heat...

    heating cools when domestic HW is on

    the boilker is a glowworrm 18hxi 18kw, think irts around 6 yrts old. The cylinder looks old. Its copper with just lagging wrapped around it, and the stat is similar to the one you have shown.

    heating cools when domestic HW is on

    thanks for info, im also wondering whether the stat on the hot water cyclinder could be faulty because the water gets very hot and turning the stat i cant hear it clicking in and out hence would the valve to the cyclinder never close hence my problem?

    heating cools when domestic HW is on

    I have an open vented system with 2 2port motorised valves. When both CH and HW are on the whole house rads cool down significantly.If i turn off HW then CH returns to hot pretty quickley. Is there a way to limit the HW through the hot water tank?
