Hi there,
I have just bought a house and the central heating system is fully pumped but has an old electromechanical timeswitch that allows CH + HW or just HW.
I'd like to modify the system to allow completely independent CH & HW control but need to understand the layout of the existing system to know whether it is suitable or what needs changing.
Can anybody possibly advise on the best way to discover the plumbing layout of an existing system, e.g. how to trace pipes from the boiler to the airing cupboard when they disappear into walls/floors and then pop out somewhere else!?
I guess I need to reverse engineer the system to understand what I have and I'm looking for tips on how to best do this.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
