Hi all, I have just replaced an old "smc controller" system with a "Y" plan using an iflo 3 port valve and new pump.
I removed all the old pumps and valves, relay etc and wired as per instructions.
Electrically all seems fine, pump runs, valve moves through positions boiler lights etc and radiators and hot water get hot.
BUT water only seems to pump through system in mid position?...if I set hot water only valve travels across , pump keeps running but after a while boiler cuts out, high temp cutout?
Could I have a faulty valve?
I first thought a partially blocked coil in the cyclinder, but the system was poorly plumbed originally with the vent pipe being between the pump and the cylinder, and with the pump on high, water flows out the vent pipe in mid position, but STOPS when ONLY hot water or heating is selected!
Was going to take valve out tomorrow and have a look, but any ideas as to problem welcomed.
Cheers
