Hi Guys I have a thorn apollo boiler which works perfectly, as i changee all the stats etc every 24 months, but i have a problem at the present, my programing clock is running slow or stopping, it is the one with the pins for setting the times etc. Anyone know where I can get a new one of...

just a question, if the problem is the hot inlet into the pump, would the cold not work anyway

will reposition the pipe tonite and will fit the feed to the pump on the pipe going down

think i recently upped the temp on the cylinder thermostat would this have made a difference.

pipe comes out of top of cylinder, then horizontal to t piece, from t piece goes up to attic and down to feed domestic hot water, I have tee'd in on the horizontal piece before the original t piece, but as i say have had no problems before now

pipe comes out of the top of the cylinder, I have tee'd off the main outlet, down to the pump. but i have no leaks, into or out of the pump on the pipework

wont this clear when the pump fires up, and what causes it

by the way, when the shower is off, if any pipe out of the pump is loosened it fires up

no, i was thinking of putting non return valves there

out of pump, under floorboards then up wall to shower valve

all fitted in november, the pump is next to the hot tank, on the floor, fed from the top, the cold feed comes from the attic directly out of the storage tank. Worked fine till about a couple of weeks ago, does not happen all the time.

thank you for the reply, it has the valve, then a solid pipe up to the fixed shower head, it also has a diverter in the pipe where you can divert the flow to a hand held shower head, if this is opened it some times starts, if not shake the pump

sometimes it will start if the valve to the pipe and moveable shower head outlet is opened, but not allways

dont think thier blocked as it works great once it starts and the pump is new, what about non return valves on the outlet side of the pump

ok i have it fed as you say, will check the filters on the valve

bought it off e bay, been working great up to a couple of weeks back, then pump would not start unless shaken, if i put feeds in as it is marked, get no hot through

i have fitted a mixer shower, the thermostat knob with the red button is on the right, bit behind it is a blue dot to intimate cold feed. My supplier told me that they were marked wrong. So hot into right side cold into left side looking at valve, but opposite to blue and red dots...

take the covers off the boiler, its on the right hand side of the outer frame at the bottom. about 10.00 takes 10 mins, changed mine after 15 years of problems perfect now
