no hot water upsairs

[jthorne82]

hi all, have a problem with no hot water upstairs in the bathroom, get a few second burst then gets colder. BAR pressure is just over 1, have very hot water down stairs and heating works upstairs and down. have bled all the rads as well. Any ideas

Bath tap perchance ?

 

[jthorne82]

sorry to ask but what perchance? its the bath taps sink taps and shower

 

[dancinplumba]

Bath taps tend to have high flow rates, do you have a combi boiler ?

 

[jthorne82]

Yeah have a combi. Can have bath taps fully open but only trickles out sometime.

Possibly taps need restoring kits. Are all the taps and shower the same?

Defo could be a new set of tap bodies needed. Other than that you are going to need a GSR to repair your boiler. Could be a couple of things on the boiler making it do this. Would say it is unusual for all hot taps to go at once, or has this been a progressive thing? If it has happened at once, its the boiler I would say.

Btw your pressure on your boiler is on the CENTRAL HEATING SIDE, nothing to do with your tap water. Or you would be drinking your central heating water.... Bleeding the radiators wont make your hot and cold circuits any better neither. Most likely its a boiler related issue not your taps

Dhw works on gf? Normally when sensors or flow switches go the boiler only responds to higher flow rate of bath and not kitchen sink? Unless they have a 3/4 tap on sink?

If the water as you say only trickle upstairs sometimes you most likely have an obstruction in the pipe or the taps reducing flow to the point where the dhw flow sensor isn't responding and therefore not firing the boiler.

if it works downstairs its not the boiler
