Hi all
Was after some advice. I have a system boiler ( Ecotec plus 618) and a Heatsatre Mega flow ( 145l) about 20 years old . Over the past 6 months i have been experiencing hot water problems - specifically hot water just stops - i.e no water coming out of the hot tap . The cold water still works. Had 2 different engineers out ( only because my regular one wasn’t available the 2nd time round). Both have given different opinions . The first says its the internal expansion vessel is losing pressure and when it loses pressure it stops the water . The second when it happened - a different engineer came out and all he did was check it all and said it was fine. He opened all the taps and urned off the direct cold water supply and then turned it back on and the hot water came back. He said it was a sticky cold water feed tap.. So i have 2 engineers saying 2 diff things. The first one says i need to replace the Hot water cylinder and the second says to replace the direct cold water feed . I have had a few problems this year with the cylinder and have had a new pressure release valve fitted. At it stands today i can be running the hot tap and it suddenly stops and then i turn the tap off and then when i switch it back on it comes back on . Sometimes i have to do this a couple of times - sometimes i don’t. Any ideas as to whats going on? There is a bit of noise in the pipes - like a bang every bow and then
