Guys,
I have a Powermax boiler which contains a heat store, as you'll be familiar with. The problem is that the radiators get warm whenever the boiler is on, even of the central heating is off.
I figured this was a dodgy valve so got HeatTeam in to fix it but upon arrival the guy said that Powermaxes don't have such a valve. Apparently I'm supposed to have a gravity valve on the central heating pipe to stop the hot water from the heat store floating around the central heating system when the heat store pump is running (ie the boiler is heating up).
Does anyone know if this is correct? If, as I'm assuming, it is, then how much will it cost to install one?
Thanks,
Chris
