I'm having trouble getting in touch with my landlord so I'm looking for anything I can do myself to remedy this situation. I have a new Vaillant heating system with an ecoTEC Plus boiler, uniSTOR Plus tank, sensoCOMFORT control panel, and FM5/VR71 that provides heating to radiant floors & radiators along with hot water.
The problem is we are not getting any hot water. The control panel is showing the domestic hot water at 13 C and it's set for 60C; currently on manual, using the hot water boost makes no difference. The boiler is showing flow temperatures above 70C and the pump is running to send hot water through the tank.
My suspicion is that the 70C+ water is not actually going through the coils in the tank. In the attached picture you can see the pump is running for the hot water going to the tank (the pumps for the radiant floors and radiators are not running). On the return line you can see a heat meter (evenes zelsius device) and the number on that has not changed at all since the problem started. Any hints at what might be the problem?
