    Faulty Mid Position Actuator?

    Faulty Mid Position Actuator?

    Faulty Mid Position Actuator?

    Wow that was quick! Yes the mechanism feels very light (almost loose to the touch) Doesn't seem to be engaging at all - I remember this feeling quite stiff to move on my previous system! The heating works as expected. 1 thermostat downstairs. The heating and water will work together...
