Hi
A while ago we replaced a Megaflo for an Ecocent hot water cylinder. Unvented
Due to the size of the new cylinder we had to relocate it slightly. But otherwise we used all the same fittings as previously
The hot water outlet from the cylinder is HOT. I mean the heat travels metres along the pipe. We fitted a valve about 1 metre from the cylinder, and when that's turned off, the heat stops at the valve. This implies to me that water is actually flowing slowly along the pipe. Yet no taps are turned on. We do not appear to have a leak anywhere. So I am stumped
Additional info. We have the Megaflo 3 bar pressure reducing valve fitted, which feeds the cold supply to the cylinder - could this be faulty? The cylinder feeds a double shower in a changing room. Of these two, one works fine, but the other only ever sends out lukewarm water - could the thermostat in this shower be faulty and it is allowing the hot to flow through to the cold supply? The cylinder also feeds another shower which works fine, and 2 sinks, which also work fine
I'm no plumber myself. But handy man installed this cylinder and another of the same upstairs. The upstairs unit works perfectly
