happy Christmas everyone!!
Came out to a job a couple weeks back to ground floor rads stone cold, 1st floor rads some rads working others not. Checked pump: weak as hell. Replaced the pump and went to top up pressure as the previous gauge had gone so changed that as well. Pressure went up and straight back down. Checked PRV and was fine. Assumed it was a leak somewhere. Nope. Left the filling loop open which fills up the CWSC in the loft.
Have checked vented cylinder connections all are ok. Filling loop mains cold has been connected to the old gravity cold feed to the central heating system.
Where would the obvious points be where the heating and CWSC could be connected? I know there shouldn’t be but are there any obvious things I’m missing if someone has converted an open to a sealed system incorrectly? Seems ok to me though.
I was thinking of putting a NRV on the feed from the CWST???
