Hi I have just moved in to a new property. I have had loads of problems with the heating and hot water this is whats happened to date:
Turned water of to change some piping around. Heating and hot water back on ok.
Timer started playing up wouldn't turn on or off when it should do - new timer replaced, then when hot water was turned on the heating would also come on even though thermostat was down to the lowest point, thought a faulty 3 way valve.
Finished off putting new radiator on last weekend drained system etc, now strangely hot water and heating will go on independantly so valve has "fixed itself"!!
Since then we put the water on for 30 minutes in the morning an hour before we shower, we have a stuart turner pump with 15mm hot and cold inlet. The shower is scalding (no exageration) this is with the thermostat turned to the lowest setting. The only way possible to even have a shower is to close the hot water valve leading to the shower pump so that it is nearly closed so that the hot water is not going to leave you with 3rd degree burns! It is like the cold water is not going through or something. Both inlet valves turn easily and seem to be opened fully. The thermostat on the tank is set to 60 degrees C.
This morning i had a shower and my partner had one straight after and then there was no water coming out of the upstairs hot taps? I could hear the tank refilling but even after the tank refilled there was still nothing. Hot water is coming out of the downstairs taps.
We have a baxi boiler, hot water storage tank, a honeywell st699 controller.
Can anyone unravel this mystery, we would just like to have hot water for a shower when we want, the heating to turn on when we want and just act like a normal system!
