    Prima F40, Alpha 2, Boiler Overheat (Intermittent Fault)

    So a powerflush would likely help, draining, cleaning and refilling with inhibitor again might help, but installing new pipes would be an option too? Guess I'd better get someone to take a look...

    Prima F40, Alpha 2, Boiler Overheat (Intermittent Fault)

    Thanks, Will bleed first then see what the magnet says.. It is at the moment only a minor annoyance. When we refilled the system last year the header tank was murky (at best - full of crud would be more accurate) so if we have a build up of magnetite then I guess the restricted flow would...

    Prima F40, Alpha 2, Boiler Overheat (Intermittent Fault)

    Expansion Tank Overflow Issue Questions

    So the British gas guy bled all the radiators diagnosed a faulty pump, fitted a new one and left. It was running fine on full whack wither the dial on the boiler turned onto 5 and the thermostat on full. The new pump is a grundfos alpha 2. He suggested we re-bleed the rads occasionally to rid...

    Expansion Tank Overflow Issue Questions

    Thank you for the reply - has set my mind straight :D There is no water coming in through the vent pipe so will get the ballcock replaced and take it from there. By flushing the whole system down, do you just mean turn off the mains and drain the cold water tank down? Thanks again! Ian
