Hi Guys,
Am hoping someone out there will be able to point me in the right direction!
I have a potterton puma 80 combi which, to all intents and purposes in running absolutely fine and dandy (touch wood) however, I am finding that during "peak water usage" times, i.e. 7-9am when i want a nice hot shower I am struggling to get hot water. The mains pressure is still adequate at these times, but my boiler doesn't seem to think so..... it will fire up on and off as and when the pressure rises/drops, it really is only a minute change in pressure from working to not working, and certainly still enough for the boiler to function correctly without damaging it due to low pressure (which is why i assume the boiler stops heating my water as it foolishly thinks there is no water passing thru it..?) Anyone got any ideas? is there something that can be adjusted to rectify this? I am pretty novice, but after some problems last xmas with the CH know my way around the boiler quite well.
ps - this does only ever happen when the mains pressure is a little low, nothing else is causing me any problems, and it doesnt happen at any other time....
looking forward to your responses.
Cheers
Mike
