i am thinking of holding an pump finding day the prize for the first person to find it will be well i think i will keep that bit a secret as no one would turn up but how about a clue to the prize or three prizes the first is six the second is five and the third is three today and driving me mad

 

[doitall]

A prize for the model would be handy

GC number is not listed under Ideal boilers

try again there will be a plate inside the door see if you can spot another number

Any idea of the age

 

[doitall]

whilst were looking have you check the pump, and do you have any Motorised valves, room stats etc

 

[perryclif]

all i can tell u is that the boiler is about 3ft tall only has one dial a thermostat knob that goes from 1 to 6 the front just pulls off there is a little window to view the pilot light a small plate with g c no 41-077-25 and fs 601s rs and a serial no and heat input and output figures. i have looked all around the boiler and upstairs by the hot water tank for the dam pump. there is a lifestyle LP 522 controller and a drayton digistat in the front room. about three months ago we put a fish tank in the room and the tank hides the digistat could that affect the heating, tho it has worked up until about two weeks ago ?

Probably already trashed

Undo the bigscrew in the center ( some water will run ) and give the little screw in the hole a twist to check its free running.

top cover pulls up for access ( I think )

Still have no gc number thats matches not bad out of about 500

 

[perryclif]

it is very hard to get to but i managed to undo big screw. because of the position of the pump i could not see inside so i stuck a screwdriver in cant feel a screw but it was like putting a screwdriver to a fan if u no what i mean

 

[perryclif]

also the pump is red hot and would it be for the hot water to if so why is water hot and rads not?

 

[kevplumb]

so after you calmed your hand down
(if you get the shakes dont waste it)

the pump would appear to be running

 

[perryclif]

it would appear so and it must be working to heat the water i did hear a wooshing noise when i turned the heat and water on. would it be worth putting a hose on the rad and bleeding the whole lot
