Hi,
The pump in my CHS packed-up recently and the valves either side of it weren't working properly either so ended up having to drain the whole system. But prior to that, when I initially started to remove the pump water came gushing out and I grabbed any valve I could find and turned them off with no effect. All well and good now, sort of! I put them back to where I thought they were before but I've noticed the boiler [Potterton Pr1maF] is now having problems starting-up. I hear the fan starting and a gurgle of water, but then it winds down, does this every ten seconds or so, maybe up to ten times then it will suddenly jump into life. I'm guessing it might not be getting enough water but I'm not sure. Can someone tell me what position the two red tap valves should be in on the photo below (one's obscured slightly by the motorised three-way valve), or is it something else that is borked? Thanks in advance.
Dave.
