Evening experts!
Grateful for advice.
Gas CH and HW system, connected via motorised mid position valve to pump then to boiler (conventional setup I presume) .
When we have CH running alone, or both CH and HW running, all is fine - boiler runs, heats up radiators and hot water - nice cosy house and mrs 2db gets lots of hot water for a bath.
However, when in HW only mode, the boiler turns off after a few minutes, but the cylinder stat on the side of the hot water tank still calls for heat, and the pump keeps running (presumably never turning off because the boiler isn't heating the water up).
Any ideas what the cause of this could be? My guess is that there's something wrong with the motorised valve perhaps? (the lever on it can however be seen moving between all three positions correctly) - but not really sure.
Grateful for any thoughts.
