Hi Yes, there is a swicthed fused spur by the tank. This is on all the time. Is this an electrical element heating device? Why would it have this as well as the 'water coil' from the boiler? When and why would i use either? thanks

how can i tell if the immersion is on? Where is the switch to turn on/off? thanks

brilliant, thanks for all your help Dave, really appreciated. Ill let you know how i get on!!

cheers, ill see if i can check out the valve operations asap. With ref to my no.2 problem about having hot water sat doing nothing. Are you saying that because the tank lets the hot water cool down by such a small amount, that the boiler wont be running often to keep the water temp up...

thanks, ill check that. Could you explain about why i have a boiler and a heating tank? cheers

Hi Dave Yes you are right, its new to me. Not a new build. A sticking 3 port valve will mean that the DHW and CH run together?
