Afternoon all, just a quick post to let you know problem now sorted and thank you all for your help. As you all expected it was a blockage. Had a plumber in for 4 hours this morning ooch! Finally found that an Aerjec 11 in the system was blocking the flow. Not immediately apparent as when...

Thanks for your time JohnD. If you have run out of ideas guess what I feel like. Been at this for long time now. Thanks again good to bounce ideas off a pro. Steve

Sorry I had cut and pasted your last reply in to ensure I answered all your questions then forgot to delete before submitting I have closed the cylinder hand wheel fully but did not feel like any flow through it anyway. Would not expect there to be as heating only now selected Appreciate the...

Re your edits: Have shut down all the upstairs rads and have got the downstairs Hall rad to heat up. The return pipe from it by the lockshield is warm while the input flow is now hot. ish Checked the 2 large pipes from top of boiler output (I assume) is roasting other (return) is luke...

I have just closed and opened the pump valves again to be sure.. Can't really check the pump again without removing it but from the sound and vibration it looks like a very good flow. By opening the electric valve manually do you mean the mid position? It is indicating selected position and...

I don't know which are the return pipes. Would these be in the airing cupboard?

sorry just noticed sorry but I don't have a aqua vax

Thanks for the fast reply I was not expecting anyone to be logged in but worth a try. Just tried you suggestion and the bathroom rad 1st floor (boiler is ground floor) gave a good jet of water no sign of air. New pump is selected to 3 and seems to be pumping as the pipes from the pump(airing...

Hello all back again, no further forward. Don't know if anyone will pick up on this as its been a few days. Sorry but had to work. Anyway. I have tried flushing out the system to reasonably clear water. Used Wickes rapid dose ch cleanser as it was the only thing I could get my hands on...

Sorry , back from non opened shops and at a loss now as have drained the chemicals from yesterday

Thanks for all your replies I am going out now to try and find a shop open that sell a really strong de scaler and will also try removing and blowing out the rads. Your advise has been much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and have a great New Year. ps really interesting site to...

because the water in the system is up to temp By the system up to temp are you saying that if 1 rad is up to temp the boiler will shut even though the stat room is not? From all your comments I am assuming that the boiler is working OK and heating up the small parts of the system it can...

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what the boiler stats is? Only thing I can see on the boiler is a switch that goes from 0 to max could that be it. If i turn this to 0 I assume that the boiler will not heat. Tried draining some more from the drain valve downstairs and this is really black...

I have not changed the diverter. And yes I beld off a few buckets full from the lowest point drain valve to hopefully pull the descaler into the system. Current situation is. I think it is sludge causing the problem as black gunge from the drain valve. Have turned off all lockshield valves...

Hi all first post in my search for help. System has a Potterton profile 50e boiler. Mid position valve. Grundfos pump (fitted when shops reopened yesterday) Drayton RTS 1 roomstat (also changed) New pump running and pipes to mid position valve and out from that are roasting. Boiler fires...
