Hello everyone
I am trying to work out if my Potterton Suprima 70 is functioning properly. I have hot water and heating, but the boiler is constantly cycling on and off.
The system is as follows:
- it's located in a flat and is a sealed, pressurised system
- there are 9 radiators, most with TRVS, and a wireless master thermostat in the hall set at 17 degrees
- a mixture of microbore and standard pipes
- a replacement PCB was fitted at some stage.
The boiler will run for about 10 minutes when it first comes on, and then goes off for about 2 minutes. After that it comes on for about one minute and then turns off for two, and then repeats this cycle until the flat gets up to temperature.
During the 2-minute periods when the boiler is off, the pump continues to run and the green light on the boiler flashes.
Because I have water and heating the system is obviously working but should I expect the boiler to fire for a longer period rather than constantly going on and off in this way?
Thank you!
