I have a Grundfos pump in the bathroom cupboard on the first floor which also houses the boiler and above which is the cold water tank - in these MUCH colder days, is it best to turn it up to full flow? The three rads upstairs (where the boiler is) are gradually warming up but downstairs no sign of any heat yet . There appears to be three levels on this pump.
I have a Suprima 60 boiler (the subject of much mirth on this site!!) - it is 8 years old (and bought by the previous occupiers) - and it does the usual trick of cutting-out (red light flashes) regularly. Is it time to rip the boiler out along with the tank and install a combi? Are combi's are better system? I live in a Victorian terraced house with 7 rads and a shower and do not use much water, if these facts are of any use.
In short, am I living in the dark-ages, with a 4 foot immersion heater and a cold water tank above it? Please be honest!
Cheers - and PLEASE keep the answers simple!
