Hi

I have just bought a house with a stove back boiler. After lighting it up and turning on the water pump, the radiators warm up to just above room temp and the hot water tank is the same or colder.

The copper pipes from the back boiler just get luke warm.

Should the water be pumped from the top of the back boiler or bottom?

Should the pump be pumping water away from the back boiler?

When I put the pump on is sounds like water is dripping in the back boiler and therefore may have an air lock, if so how do I get rid of the air lock, is there a way to bleed the boiler or air?

I have attached 2 images, hopefully these help abit. the pump pumps away from the stove and the pipe is connected to the bottom of the back boiler

You cannot do it with that timeclock.

You may or may not be able to do it even with a new timeclock.

It all depends on how your system is configured.

Good idea to get boiler serviced and controls explained when you buy a property.
