Hi
My boiler is not working after a heating engineer looked at it yesterday. Getting t9 code despite resetting and re-pressurising. The filling loop hose is now leaking. Can anyone tell me how I switch to the immersion so I can get hot water until engineer comes back out. Many thanks
 
There is usually a fairly obvious switch positioned near to the hot water cylinder. Pictures of the cylinder and it's surround would help if you're still not sure.
 
Hi. Thanks for your reply. Don’t know whether these photos will help, the tanks incorporated in the boiler system. Thanks

The filling loop hose is now leaking.

Your photo appears to show the valves at either end of the filling loop open and partially open. Once you've got the system correctly pressurised both should be set to the 'off' position, this is normally with the lever at right-angles to the valve body. This will stop the hose leaking.

(Strictly speaking, once the system is correctly pressurised the flexible loop should be disconnected and the valve ends sealed with screw-on caps.)
 
filling loop is open in the pics?

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
