    Drained CH but now no HW

    thank you for the replies. Went home and tried the immersion heater - outcome, I now know my backup for hot water does not work ! At least I know during a period where I can remedy this.

Went up into loft and isolated the feed to stop the system filling up, then drained the CH system. Currently, still...
