Original set up resulted in warmish radiators. Now they are a lot hotter. No adjustment to the boiler, just seems to be working as it should.

Hi, just wanted to say all working. Better than it's ever been. Thanks for all your help

Excellent, thankyou

Last recommendation you made was "Don't forget to make your new cold feed up-and-under, to reduce convection warming of the F/E tank and encouraging algae growth". I'm thinking this is a S bend to stop the convection heat going to the expansion tank. Just wondered as opposed to do it at the...

Hi, busy at the weekend didn't have chance. Hopefully get done this Sunday. Just curious but do you think I could do the convection turn on the boiler feed side ?

Awesome, will get on it next weekend. Thanks for all the advice and support

Hi again, I took a further look at the existing system and it is different to my original draft. Turns out the feed from the expansion tank goes to the bottom of the hot water cylinder coil outlet. It would be quite straightforward to change this and attach this direct to the boiler feed just...

For the record the system is completely clear. No sludge in the tank all pipework flushed out

Hi, yes this is the current set up. The way I look at it the pump draws away from the expansion overflow in the first diagram but the second diagram (My current set up) it pushes to the expansion overflow. My question is if I was to reverse the pump so the flow runs to the rads, hot water...

On the schematic the drawing on the right is the way my system is set up. The one on the left is how it should be but the motor in my system has never been between the expansion overflow and the three way valve. It's always been on the return of the boiler. Thanks in advance for any guidance...

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I'll get pictures when I get home. Yes it's on the return feed

Hi, might seem an odd question but can a central heating pump be reversed. Pump has never been housed in the Airing Cupboard. Normally located after the expansion overflow and the 3 way valve. Pump has always been located where the boiler is. Noticed that the pump was not directed towards...
