I have a customer who has told me the hot water flow rate has dropped off by 60% this week. I arrived this morning and tested the boiler which works fine and fires up everytime. The flow is fine for about 15 seconds and then the flow just reduces to a slow flow but the water is nice and hot. I have checked the mesh filter which was clean I removed the flow turbine and checked the filters behind the turbine , I removed the pipe completely and checked it was clear , I have removed the heat exchanger and put the mains through it which was giving a good flow rate on both sides, The isolation valve to the boiler has been checked and that is clear also. The flow on the cold main is good , I have put the cold mains through the shower mixer to prove that there is blockage to all the taps. My last thought is there could be a partial blockage where the rising main branches off to supply the boiler , Any thoughts would be great :thinking2:
