Hi All
My first post here but I'm looking for a bit of advice (I am a willing novice). I've a wood-pellet boiler and thermal store in the garage. It provides hot water through the radiators in the house and feeds the hot water tank in the loft, where the header tank is. There are no other heat sources.
The three-way valve in the garage is leaking (not the connections but the valve itself). I attach a couple of pictures where you can hopefully see the set-up in the garage around the faulty valve in question (the one behind the automix). I have a replacement valve but I am just not too sure how to replace it in terms of whether I need to drain the whole system first or if there is some way of minimising the amount of draining etc. that I have to do.
Any hints, tips or ideas would be very much appreciated. Happy to provide clarification if none of this makes sense!
Thanks in advance
Ben
