Hi all,
New here to the forum.
Got a slight problem with my UFH. Have 3 valves, DHW, Rads and UFH.
Rads and DHW work fine using the programmers, switch on and off and heat up no problem.
However whenever the UFH is calling for heat, the flow pipe at the manifold barely gets warm. Its a 4 zone system, actuators open up circuit when fired, boiler fires up. Zone value is open for UFH. The flow pipe at the boiler gets hot, but it seems by the time it gets to the UFH manifold, barely any heat is getting to the UFH flow pipe.
The run is quite a bit, but have left on the whole day, and still no heat.
Boiler is a vaillant 630 ecotec plus. I noticed that unlike when DHW or the rads are calling for heat, the boiler does not stay on constantly, as in fired up. Keeps displaying the eggtimer and on live monitor, shows pump overrun sometimes.
Assuming the reason the UFH flow pipe at manifold is not heating up is that boiler for some reason is turning itself off even though constant demand for heat is there. Wiring center at manifold shows Boiler, Value and Pump lights on. At the megaflo wiring centre, when UFH is calling for heat, switch live active and so telling boiler to come on. So I don't believe it is a wiring problem.
No air at UFH manifold, rads and HW aired too. Pump at UFH manifold is on and pulling, can be heard.
Any ideas why boiler is not staying on for long enough to get the temperature up?
