Blocked Feed and Expansion tank within Fortic cylinder

[staro30]

Hi,

We have a Fortic Cylinder. There is a feed and expansion tank within the header tank on the top. There is a blockage somewhere as the radiators are not filling up.

Any ideas on how to locate the blockage and clear it?

We have removed the pipe from the feed and expansion tank that connects to the pump but that is clear. We have also tried to clear the inlet feed for the feed and expansion tank too.

Thanks
Staro

There is no such link on a Fortic cylinder, not unless it is a Fortic Primatic. You should have a separate cold feed and expansion tank for the heating.

Well, you live and learn! What a horrible device!

We certainly do! That is the baby!

They are a pain in the ass but it does seem to have worked its blockage out now! Phew!
