For all the plummers out there it was the heat exchanger above the burner.
It would have been cheaper to buy a new boiler based on the answers I got on here.
Now I realise this forums only for wannabe plummers
I as mentioned earlier opened the stop cock full and all hot taps up and downstairs.
Operating pressure 20mb
Heat input 25kw
Outlet to CH from boiler is Luke warm
Return pipe into boiler is cold
Sorry if you think I'm waisting your time
Ran hot water only with mains fully open, the CH feed warms up slightly but this is probably because it's next to the DHW feed but return on CH is cold.
Hot water only when mains pressure low or tap only opened slightly.
It's as if the boiler is too small but it's been in 15 years.
The boiler...
Sorry may have worded wrongly.
Flow rate is low as I've turned turn the water pressure to enable the water to heat up, if I open the mains water it just does not heat up the DHW at the taps so due to me turning down the water pressure there's low flow up stairs.
If I open up the mains water...
The flow rate is quite low as in the upstairs bathroom it's not sufficient enough to keep the shower plunger open on the mixer taps.
Even though the diverter valve has had new diaphragms on both CH and DHW and both pins are operating can the diverter valve still be an issue.
I have noticed the...
Hi. Yes it's the plate exchanger at the back which was replaced.
So seems the diverter valve is ok if you say both pins should operate the limit switches when DHW is demanded.
The boiler was tested a few weeks ago and I was told all was ok with the gas pressure/flow.
If I open a hot water tap...
Hi. Hope I can find someone who's had this issue.
Baxi eco 80 DHW gets hot when water pressure is low, new HE fitted and both diaphragm's on diverter valve changed but still no better.
I did notice when CH on diverter valve (horizontal) for CH pin comes out and hits the limit switch and DHW...
Hi.
I have a 15 year old Baxi 80ECO which has been removed and refitted after decorating and plastering.
It's been off 4 months, on start up with the switch on tap/radiators the boiler ignited and runs but water is not getting hot on Luke warm.
Radiators are flat cold and are bled.
Any help...
