Hi All,
I've got a Glow Worm Ultimate 50ff system boiler.
If I use the timer to request hot water, boiler fires up no problem.
If I use the timer to request heating, boiler does nothing, doesn't even attempt to fire.
Was fine on Saturday but Sunday it's not having it.
I had a rough guess that maybe the thermostat is telling it that it's hot enough in the house already? it isn't.
Thermostat is in the hall and is wired into the mains.
Is a system boiler with a Y plan in the airing cupboard alongside the cylinder.
Checked the thermostat wiring and it is receiving power when we try to turn the heating on at the timer.
Stat is a Drayton RTS1
The Y plan, it's called a HORSTMAN F322M,
reviews on screwfix for that model are terrible
As I was looking at that the otherhalf decided to mention a problem with the shower that's just occured.
In the same cupboard as the cylinder we have a power shower pump.
She said that although the shower has hot water it’s at a much lower pressure, turns out the power shower pump is not coming on at all.
Not sure how the shower pump and central heating are related but I guess they are as that would be a big coincidence for both to go wrong at the same time
Any ideas?
Could a faulty Y plan still cause both the problems, or could the power shower pump have caused both?
Had to leave for work so ran out of time to look into it further
