Guys,
I've got a Ferroli Optima 701 which i've been having problems with for about a year.
First i had the issue of the pressure dropping below the minimum, so i read on here to pump some air into the expansion vessel which solved the problem. Excellent, cheers!
Over the past few months my hot water has been intermittant at best. Usually the water would run hot for anything less than 1 minute and then go cold (might be worth noting that when it did run hot the water was quite cloudy). On top of this a lot of the time the central heating would also just go cold, running for a short time then going off.
So at the weekend i replaced the temperature sensors (parts 34 & 42 i believe). Now it would appear that the heating comes on fine, and a lot hotter than before, but i only get hot water when the central heating is running!
It seems to be one thing after another, but I feel like i'm getting somewhere now!!
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Iain.
