    Worcester 40CDI - Constant Humming/Running when off

    ecomax 828 - No hot water please help

    Afternoon all I seem to have a hot water problem with my Valiant ecomax 828 which i think may be caused by the aqua sensor but am not sure. The central heating is working as normal and the hot water is heated if I turn the boiler to constant hot water mode (however this seems to only...
