I have an annoying problem with my GHW system.

When the boiler first fires it appears that the water is heated then it
boils for a short time (maybe 30 sec max) before it starts to naturally
circulate.

If I turn the water off, then the boiler shuts down as it should.

If I then turn the water on again, the boiler then re starts and the
water is heated without the boiling noises.

Any Ideas how I can get the water circulating before the boiler fires
as I think this would cure the problem.

I'm going to see if it is possible to start the pumped CH for a couple
of minutes before the GHW starts to see if this does the trick.

I've already descaled the system, flushed and treated with Fernox noise
reducer and protector (maybe I should add more?).

Any Ideas gladly considered although I don't really want to change to
pumped HW

But you really should consider doing this. As well as working better it
will save you money in the long run.

How easy are the mods?
Is it just a matter of plumbing a pump into the gravity water circuit
and wiring in to the 2 port valve?
