Hi all
I joined this forum purely on basis of browing some of the threads to help me with my Megaflo problem. Hoping some of the pro's here might be kind enough to provide some input to get this resolved.
I've got a 8 yr old Megaflo DD225 cylinder which up until 2 months ago supplied hot water. I live in Croydon, Surrey and have had several local engineers attend (even those recommended by Heatrae Sadia themselves) and not one of them has successfully restored hot water.
We've had this before and switched out the thermostat which went fine (this was abt a year before current problem) but changing thermostat this time still hasn't worked, with plumber blaming dodgy valves or faulty replacement thermostat.
We're still (only) getting cold water with normal pressure and now I've become extremely wary of arranging for another so-called 'engineer' come over just to provide their opinion wihout corrctly diagnosing the problem never to be seen again!
I still don't know if problem's electrical, mechanical, dodgy thermostat or something else - I mean what is the correct procedure to replace a thermostat (assuming it's as simple as that) ie. does it involve draining the cylinder?
I'm going to try local Plumbase for a new thermostat and try to find someone to install it.
Any other suggestions greatly appreciated!
cheers guys!
