Boiler hot water runs hot and cold

Posted by Simon Carey, on
Boiler hot water runs hot and cold, its a new (1 year old) Glo worm boiler , water pressure isn't great but is still at the 1.5 barr level. Would fitting an accumulator valve in line to the boiler help?

Robert Edmunds

If the boiler was fitted to an existing system and the system was not flushed and a magnetic filter not fitted to the heating return pipe then this could be the problem. I assume it was fitted by a gassafe engineer so if he has not flushed the system ask why. Also if it was a legal installation it will be covered under the manufactures guarantee assuming you have had it serviced if it's over 1 year old, so give them a ring. Bob edmunds
