I've just had a new heat store fitted and my boiler is tripping all the time. It didn't used to.

Could it be possible that my flow and returns are on the wrong way around?

How can I check?

I've got a Potterton Prima F but I have no instructions now so I'm unsure which pipe is which on the boiler itself.

I'm just wondering, in all the excitement, that we have connected up wrong in the airing cupboard.😛

Connections on the tank are corect and the pump is the right way round, but I might have got the very last connections the wrong way around... I'm thinking I might be pumping water through the boiler the wrong way...

Please help.🙂
 
The flow is the pipe on the left as you look at it. Let it all cool down and then turn on. The left pipe should get warm first.

pottertons love not having a bypass.

is there always an open cct for the primary to circulate through??
