hi all, im gonna hit you with whats seems a big headache for me.
i have a glowworm economy plus EP50F boiler Gas, which lights and does what i want it to (i hope). a Grundfos selectric 15-50 Pump tried removing screw from middle all going round fine, and not making any nice but occasional swirling. new cylinder. and 2 new 3way port box things i cant remember the name of them now. 1St of all unsure of how long any of this has been there recently moved in.
I live in a 3 storey town house, boiler on ground floor tanks on 3rd floor. top two floors heat is great. very hot, but ground i have no heat at all. i drained out many times from drain plug and through all of the 3 rads downstairs refill but no luck. I then added Fernox sludge remover heated it all up had it running no luck downstairs, turned 3rd floor rads off then turned 2nd floor rads off now all rads off except downstairs all rads stone cold then my tank overflows water comes out of overflow pipe.
The bit that confuses me is that if i take the bleed valve out of any of the rads downstairs eventually i will get boiling water but when i put the valve back in the rad within minutes it turns stone cold. also i know its the water from the tank because its green/yellow which is the fernox. and to me if this is happening indicates there might not be a blockage?
So with this i replaced a rad downstairs which i believe is the 1st rad to come from the 2nd floor and still no luck this hasnt changed a thing.
also i have 3rads on each floor 1 large and 2 medium.
I hope someone out there can shed some light on this issue
thank again
