Hi,
Excuse any mistakes but this is my first post but I hope you can help. I have a really old central heating system (approx 30 years), now everything is working fine except.... ever since I moved in 3 years ago! In summer I turn off the central heating on the timer and just have hot water on for an hour. Only thing is that the rads get hot as well as the water. Ok I thought I'll check for some valve to switch between the 2, have found it and it says 'satchwell' and 'duoval' think from reading posts that its a 3 port. It has arrows on side pointing to 'hot water' and 'central heating' and there is a long narrow slot. I have had a look at the new sunvic motorised valves and they don't seem to have levers.
Am I missing a lever of some type?? If not how do I switch between the hot water/central heating/both? Not a professional but a quite savvy female
