I have a few q's about my CH which I hope makes sense to those members who understand these things SO much better than I do...
First off, I have a pumped system. 3 way motorised valve, hot water cylinder in airing cupboard etc
I've noticed my boiler comes on for 5-10 minutes then goes off. 5-10 minutes later it comes on again. Is this normal ? It's overdue a service - probably not been done for 5 years
The 3 way valve in my pumped CH system makes a continuous ' operating' noise I had a quick look and was able to stop it by pressing the metal cover. Eventually I loosened the screw holding the cover in place and the noise stopped Is this normal or is my valve on it's way out
Finally is there any rule for which setting to use on the pump. I've turned it down to 1 as it's quieter. Could this affect any of the points above
PS: I have plenty of HW and CH
As I already have a faulty programmer, I'm wondering if I should get a British Gas contract for a year and get things sorted ?
