hi everyone, big problems, i have a conventional system with two, two port valves. gas fired boiler which should provide central heating combined with hot water. the heating seems to work, well the boiler fires and hot water pumps through the pipes of the hwsv. when it fires the rads are warm/hot at the top and cold at the bottom. i take it they r full of sludge!! would that effect the hot water?the biggest prob is that no hot water comes from the taps!! any suggestions? the system is about 22 yrs old and only services have been made to the boiler annually. why cant i get any hot water?? the programmer seems to be fine, so does the roomstat. cylinder stat is at 65 degs. i noticed that both valves shut at the time of firing of boiler, then if i manually set them to the on position then i get some hot water, do i really need to change the two port valve? or is there air in the system? someone pls helppppppppp!!!
