Help me get hot water again....please!!!
I have a problem with my hot water system/combi boiler. My CH works
fine and hot water did until yesterday. I now have to turn the hot water taps on full to get the boiler to kick in and get hot water. Having read similar pages on the internet, could it be a problem with the diverter valve/diaphragm? My questions are... (1) do you think this is the right diagnosis? (I get hot water easier when the CH is on, which makes sense. Also the fact that this happened suddenly suggests that the diagraphm may have perforated), (2) how difficult is it to replace the valve/diaphragm/microswitch?, (3) should I try it myself or get stung by a plumber? I have booked a plumber (CORGI resistered) to come round this evening to diagnose, but would like to save the call out charge and don't want to waste his time and knowledge if then I decide to do the job myself. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks Roger |
