Hi
I wonder if anyone can offer some advice please.
Since turning on the Central Heating, admittedly a while ago, the Radiators appear to fluctuate between mildly hot and lukearm, never consistently one temperature.
The Hot water is also taking time to come through hot, and even this is not as hot as it has been. It seems to run out whilst running a bath,which never used to happen.
I have bled all the radiators and other than one, in the bathroom, they were fine, no hissing and water leaked out almost immediately.
I have reset the boiler, which appears fine, the pilot light coes on, the 'burner' comes on and all seems well.
The 'Hot Water tank' I have set to 60 degrees, there is a flow? meter on it, set to 2 and a pressure guage? which looks like it is set to 0.5 bar. Although I am not sure about the pressure gauge.
But feeling the tank and the surrounding pipes, none seem to be hot, should there be some..........
System is a Baxi Solo 2 combi. The thermostat setting on it is set at 4.
My thoughts are there may be some sort of blockage or sludge. I know where the feeder tank is, should I try some sort of chemical cleaner I am not too confident in flushing the system out, if I got someone to do this will it cost me a bomb?
Cheers for any help.
