Thanks, Exeter

Tony and Dan, thanks for your help previously. I've had a mate round who works on boilers and together we couldn't see a inlet filter (even though the manual suggests there might be one) so i guess it 's not that that's blocked! He suggests maybe the heat exchange might have a blockage...

Thought so :lol: I've looked online for guides on how to do this, and indeed whereabouts, for instance, the filter might be found for my shower but so far to no avail. I'll keep looking. If it helps, my mixer looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/robv-mix and my head looks like this ...

Hi Dan, my investigations so far have only been of the order of checking boiler pressure, temp etc. I originally came on here to check if this was a common issue and to see what theories people might have. Is a blocked inlet filter something a novice can/should check without a professional...

Hi Tony, thanks for your response. I do understand that bleeding radiators lowers system pressure. Maybe I gave the wrong impression on my first post. What I meant to say was that having bled the radiators that one time I forgot to check that there was sufficient pressure left in the system...

Apologies for the shameless bumping, I know it's poor forum etiquette, I've tried to only do it every 24 hours or so. I'll do it this one last time just in case someone sees it this weekend who hasn't been on this week. Anybody here have any ideas?

bumped with a new title in case the boiler make and model is a red herring.

If it helps, it seems to have 'normal' pressure in the shower and warm water for a minute or so before turning cold (when the hot water flow drops).

EDIT: I've renamed this from the original title of 'Ferroli Optima 701 Hot water pressure' In case this is a problem unrelated to the boiler model. Good evening Ladies and Gents, many apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I've read the wiki and done a search and still am no...
