Hi just wondered if anyone can pass on some advise please
my setup is as follows:
3 storey house (barrett type)
Potterton Suprema l40 Boiler (upgraded PCB)
Potterton Ep2002 programmer
Potterton T40 thermostat
Santon premier plus tank
My problem is my boiler is heating up my water no problem, but it doesnt seem to want to heat up our radiators
now with my little knowledge on boilers i have carried out a few tests,
1, use some hot water up, tank communicates with boiler and the boiler fires up fine a warms fresh water up in tank no problems
2, i have turned my thermostat up to 30 deg put a bag of frozen peas over thermostat for about 2 mins and no response from boiler
3, have tried to reset boiler but still nothing
4, i have a seperate channel on my system which runs out to my koi pond (indoor) this is controlled by its own thermostat but is only used to stop water going a really low temp so isnt used much, as a test i set my desired temp to 12 deg, koi thermostat is reading at 8 deg and is set to warm up when the temp drops 0.5 deg below the desired temp, a few seconds later boiler fires up and starts to warm up my channel going to koi pond
So from this my conclusion is the boiler is working fine, but seems to me my room thermostat is no working or a pump or valve is not working which releases hot water around the radiator system, but my feeling is its the termostat as even when set at 30 deg and the house is freezing the boiler isnt even attempting to fire up
One other thing that maybe something or not, in the cupboard with the hot water tank there seems to be a valve that is working but is making a loud noise, vibrating!! im unsure what this valve is for but it is a Myson power extra MPE222
Any help would be great thanks
