Hi Hugh, thanks for all your help. In the end I decided it might be better if I stuck to my day job and called out a pumber! :P He came to the same diagnosis as you and will be removing the aerjec, rejiging my pipework and doing a power flush. Thanks to all your help and advice on this, if...

Ah... my mistake! :oops: I assumed because water was being distributed to 2 places it was a 2 port! Yes the valves are open, sorry I should have put "Make sure all valves are open"! I've attached some pictures below of my setup, the feed pipe to the tank is 22mm. Is putting the valve on...
