Possibly a faulty zone valve

Thankyou, janine

the other possible problem could be the keypad, potterton ep 2000, that you turn it on and off with. if i put it to hot water the central heating comes on aswell. has any one heard of this. thanks janine.

Your not suggesting a fuelsaver Mk2 is installed on a gravity hot water system are you?

Lack of water in system is a good sugestion, fully pumped systems run dry as well you know!!

 

[gassafeman]

Of course they do! The heating would fail though. Fully pumped systems cannot run dry without both the h/w and c/h failing. Like most topics, I suspect the OP wont reply once the diagnosis is confirmed.

Fantastic, thanks to your input and sending us down the zone valve route and posting photos so we knew what we were looking for the hot water is back on. it turned out we have one 3 port zone valve(£30.00 from plumb center) which he replaced and hey presto hot baths again. thanks for all your help. would always check with you guys befor worrying about any other problems we might have. thanks again.
