    Only get central heating if hot water turned off (Ed.)

    Cannot say definitely but sounds as if the actuator is buggered which unfortunately for you may mean major plumbing work to replace, I just replaced mine which fortunately was a Drayton 3 port valve which meant I could just simply replace by removing the complete actuator box off the valve by...

    Only get central heating if hot water turned off (Ed.)

    Have you looked under the box there should be a lever that comes across. When nothing working it should be in its rest position, there is a spring inside that pulls it to this rest position. When you are just asking for hot water it should remain in its rest position. When you are just asking...

    outhouse/garage low water pressure idea

    Are you saying there is hot and cold feed to the out houses? If so would it be possible to switch over the supplies at the house. It may mean waiting a longer for your hot water to arrive but may stop the WM locking out. Just a thought!!

    Pressure loss calculators

    Yes as there are 2 circuits does each has its own pump or is it some how split off, if its split off then depending on the frictional resistance of each circuit will depend how much of the flow each circuit takes.
