The water in my ch must be clean enough to make tea, its been drained and flushed so much these past few days. I know it may cause probs later...but what to do? I could do with changing rads anyhow. I'm delaying adding the inhibitor cos at 15 quid a chuck I don't want to have to drain again and...

Semi-solved ! Now I have hot water, but I have selected hot water only (on controller) But the upstairs rads get hot as well, don't know how because the pump does not run when hot water only is selected. I suspect the one-way valve that I removed is the reason, but I aint going to replace...

the connections are real stubborn, I think the cylinder will crack if i go any harder...so nope. I was thinking of cutting pipe and then removing cylinder and flushing with hose. Would that be a worthwhile thing to do? (the top one was ok, comp. gland next to inlet, so loosened ok)

I have removed the disc, stiil the same. No hot water just ch. The top inlet cylinder coil gets hot, the bottom one stone cold. I loosened the top nut, no air in, just water. Immersion heater works fine...good pressure at all hot taps. Could I try back filling the vent pipe at the ch header...

No mv fitted. Just been searching the internet, someone with a similar problem has been informed, most likely air lock in cylinder coil. How can I vent this, no bleed nipple or anything...could I just loosen the nut, if so i'm not sure which one to loosen either. Could I just loosen both (one at...

Hi all I have a prob with central heating/hot water any help appreciated First off a week or so ago I turned central heating off and set controller to hot water only. Hot water ok but a few rads got hot too. So, I was told probably gate valve, anyhow I replaced it. Now I can get ch but no...
