Help got an issue with a santon premiere system , initially both the central heating and hot water system... The system is quite old and as far as aware was working OK until recently.
The main Issue is that when any of the hot water taps are activated they initially run cold (expected) the hot water starts to flow hot but then quickly cools to run at warm, eventually going cold. Central heating Checks identified the pump was worn and so replaced, also noted I'd that some of the rad valves had also seized..( replaced) central heating now runs fine.
Hot water - When checking the actuator for the hot water noted that this was not being opened, this was also replaced, however did not seem initially to work, adjusted the tank thermostat setting to lowest setting then back to very hot and the actuator kicked in and opened electrically. Left for a few hours and then overnight. I'm advised by house occs that system is still the same...very poor hot water flow..
I've rung Santon who sadly were not much help. They stated its likley a pressure imbalance and I needed to fit something to address this... ! Recommended a service engineer then identified they have none locally, so just pick one...
I am aware that external to the property the water co have fitted new metres, also there was a chsnge of shower bar last year other than these no other changes, system has otherwise ran fine uninterrupted. Would these alter the mains pressure to cause the cold to over power the hot...?
Checking the fitting data its refers to checking the indirect thermostat for faults. How would I do this..? If this was an issue would they get any hot water...
Seems a lot to answer but iseem to be going around in circles...
