Hi all,
I'm going away for a couple of weeks soon and with the weather being cold this time of year I'm going to leave the central heating on low when I'm away.
Now what I want to know is if I can also turn of the main water supply while leaving the central heating on? My reasoning is that if I were to have a burst pipe the water damage would be minimzed.
I don't really know much about my central heating system but I have a very very old glow worm space saver 30 mkII boiler which has 2 switches 1 for central heating and 1 for water. We also have a immersion heater with a seperate switch and a water tank in the loft.
Would the main water supply have to stay on for the central heating to work?
As I'm only going to be away for a couple of weeks I don't want to get the central heating system drained.
Also would there be anything else simple I could do or drain just to be on the safe side.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this seems a silly question.
