we had a new boiler fitted in the summer ( the old boiler was 15years old
although the heating and hot water worked fine ) now the central heating is fine ( very hot ) but the water is less than luke warm .
I have checked the cylinder thermostat ( seems fine ) As The boiler is high up ( not easy to get to ) and the pipes are behind fixed kitchen units ( not easy access ) I have drawn up a diagram of the pipe layout and it looks to me that the plumber ( a friend of a friend ) may have mixed up the flow and return pipes ( he had a breakdown shortly afterwards )
The boiler is a Potterton Suprima 30-80 , to try to explain layout diagram as follows :
the Boiler Return pipe goes to the pump which goes to to bottom connection of the 3 way valve from there one pipe goes to CH one to Hot water
The flow pipe from the boiler goes to cylinder and CH.
does this make sense ?
