Boiler cycling

I have a Potterton Suprima 40 boiler. It recently noticed that when on timer for the hot water it continually fires up and shuts off on a one or two minute cycle. The cylinder thermostat is set at 60 degrees and I have hot water. However, if I simply select the option for a '1 hour' boost then the c...

Re: Cold radiator

Didnt change other valve but appeared to be fully opening and closing when checked. The pipe work is 10mm. Didn't completely think through whilst system was drained but did prove there was flow between the tvr end of the faulty radiator and the next one although didn't check inlet between one before...

Re: Cold radiator

Thanks for the reply. I've tried closing all the valves and leaving only the problem one open. This does make it marginally warmer but no where what it should be. Since my last post I have fully drained the system, removed the radiator and flushed through to clear. I also replaced the tvr valve as a...

Cold radiator

Hello. I am experiencing problems with a radiator failing to hear up correctly. The longer the heating is on the hotter the radiator gets but adjusting tvr has no affect. I hàve removed head to check pin moving freely, which it does, and also swapping head with radiator which works ok but no change....

Re: Air separator

Cheers for the advice. Guy came back today and fitted new air seperator. Realised that part was fitted incorrectly from new as had fitting instructions for new, exactly same type as well. Altered all pipe work and fit new part, was here nearly four hours, and agreed 30 quid. Appears to have resolved...

Apologies, forgot to ask. Do you believe this set up is the reason for the pumping over?

Re: Air separator

Thanks for the reply that is very helpful. Obviously a vent pipe should have originally been fitted and I presume this is, and the fact that air seperator was wrong orientation, why he experienced such problems with air in the system? I have managed to get guy to come to alter pipe work, would you s...

Air separator

Hello. This is my first post so any help will be much appreciated. Following the draining down of my system recently the plumber experienced massive problems removing air with boiler locking out on numerous occasions, Potterton Suprima 40. On discussion with a colleague the plumber informed that a v...
