Any suggestions as to what to do about the following would be gratefully
received: The Honeywell 3 point valve's motor seems to have failed so I have temporarily "fixed" this by wedging a matchstick in the manual lever so it forces the HW and CH to be on. However, we do have a problem with the shower on the 3rd floor which may or may not be coincidental. The HW pressure on the shower (which is clearly pumped as one can hear the pump come on and off when the shower is switched on), has become rather weak. When the knob is turned to colder the pressure increases back to normal. Over the last week or so, the pressure seems to have progressively fallen further and further - not to a dribble, but not enough to sustain a pressured jet for a shower. The Potterton Suprima 80 boiler occasionally goes into red slow flash mode, but this is always corrected by pressing the reset button on the boiler. Obviously the Honeywell valve (motor at least) needs replacing, but the low pressure upstairs, and the incidence of the red light coming on in the boiler suggests something more serious perhaps? Many thanks in advance. -- David Longley |
