Not up for that sort of diy:) Thanks, at the moment the system does work after a minute, and sometime it even works straight away so will leave for a bit and see if any other symptoms pop up.

Is there any way to figure out whether this is the problem without cutting up all my pipes and replacing them all?

The boiler is a Worcester Bosch thermo technik 35DCDi

A recent problem has come up with our plumbing. The hot water flows very slowly from all faucets, then after a minute or so the hot water flow goes back to normal and then runs at a decent flow. Process repeats when hot water has not been used for a while. Any ideas what might be causing this?

They (I have had two different plumbers over already) say that it is a circulation problem, and that if all those measures already taken have not sorted out the problem then it must be the heat exchanger which is clogged up.

The two big tanks had surprisingly clear water, which was a little worrying, the little one was looking pretty lively. I was a little scared to even look in the covered one. :shock:

I will check if the pipes were capped off, but could it be that it was capped off not on the water tank side but somewhere else? I don't know about the ballvalve. I suspect it might still be connected to the mains for filling up, that would explain why there is still water in the tank after...

We own the whole building, if it is still connected to someone else property then they are being a little cheeky :wink:

I moved into a property where the boiler and hot tank where replaced about 5 years ago (it is now a potterton and a ozo hotwater unvented water tank). I found 3 water tanks in the attic which seem to be unused. I need to make sure they are unused as I want to get rid of them. I went up there...
