HI All,
Any help gratefully received. I have the dreaded Potterton Supima 60 boiler with an EP3000 controller (justed replaced, was EP2000).
The problem I have is that when the controller has switched off the C/ H & H/W, I often hear the water pump running and have found the boiler strike up too. I have checked the operation of the Thermostats on both the H/W & C/H and they work fine but I would have thought that these shouldn't even be looked at it the controller has no demand. I have 2 motorised valves, 1 for H/W & 1 for C/H and they operate when there is a proper demand for either H/W or C/H. When I have the problem, neither of them have been opened (they have a light on them to show then they have power to them) so I presume the water is just circulating through the boiler ? I thought that the controller would control such things so replaced the original EP2000 with a EP3000 as they use the same backplane but I still have the problem.
I have done somemore investigation and it appears to me that the boiler controls the pump ? Is this right ?If it is does this mean the problem is most likely to be the PCB in the boiler ? I have heard that reconditioned PCBs are available, does anybody know where you can get them ? Part #8407750, A new one is about =A3180.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers
Ned.
