Hey all...
I've got my self a season pass at a customers house atm..
started off with a nice easy job of fitting a couple of rads..
fitted the rads got everything nice and hot.. gets a call few days later some of the rads of cold... i beat the life out of them and they start to get hot again... so i suggest a power-flush..
completed power-flush all working lovely..
did the job Monday and I've got a call today... "can you come have a look at one of the rads, it is stone cold" and 2 days in a row they have got up in the morning to find out that the boiler has gone to lock out... the boiler is a Baxi Bermuda BS3 Back Boiler i can't see how the powerflush could have affected the boiler. couple of reasons i can think of the reason for lockout is a blockage and the boiler is shutting off to protect it's self... but wait power-flushed system. so can't be that... maybe a problem with the ignition?? I'm going back Monday with an axe
any and all advice welcome on this one as it's driving me crazy..
cheers
Chris
P.s
1. the system is open vented with fully pumped primaries
2. only 1 of the new rads is not getting warm.. but here is the thing.. last time i was there after balancing the system they all worked fine.. but when it's left for a few hours and turned back on, there is a flow problem again and another rad goes cold ?
3. there is a system by-pass in the form on a rad with lockshields.. I've told the customer that it's no longer an approved method and advised them about installing a by-pass in the system.
