they May get the same bloke backnif it was a contractorcall a local engineer and get rid of BG
Hello All,
Further to my previous message:
Looking more closely [at the photo] - the Pressure Reducing Valve setting Dial - does it look like it is already set at approaching either `5` or `6` ?
Chris
Here goes - frankly its got more less chance of being true that one of Donald Trumps tweets...
How about:
Symptom is severely reduced flow. Possibly strainer on incoming main partially blocked and potentially that in the control block too. So, instead of cleaning out and descaling the filters they've simply upped the set point on the PRVs so it 'improves'. That however gives too much initial flow (especially if the pressure vessel has failed too) so the whack in the PRV on the outlet! Told you it was nuts!
Of course the problem there would be the pressure relief valve in the control block. That normally starts weeping. As we haven't seen the tundish we have no idea one way or other its state. Not being a betting man, I'd put my 10p on it being scaled.
IF that's the case then its a new block, sort vessel, sort incoming main filter & rip out the abomination on the OP.
Chris. It can't go over pressure for the cylinder as you have two protections.
OP - I'm already sure of this answer, but when was this system last serviced? I can see the optimistic emojis flooding in
I think this conversation has been going on long enough in an open forum boys and girls if there is any on here.Something has been letting by into the tundish - but not for long looking at it. No evidence of long term discharge which makes it all the more puzzling tbh...
With no servicing having been carried out, that'd still be my first port of call - a proper and extensive service. At that point I'd review whole system performance and change controls to suit. Still got my 10p on removing that redundant PRV... possible another too.
Steve. You need to get an experienced G3 engineer on to this. If you check your BG contract, I'd be very very surprised if your UVC is covered. Personally, I'd look for a suitable local engineer and get it done properly and annually so you and your family are safe into the future.
NOWe do have 1 on the inlet also - that's the one that he is going to replace tomorrow (as he had to order the part) - just need to have a night off from hot water - oh well, at least it gives me a reason to use my gym membership tonight (for the 1st time in about 2 years) lol
One other question, would it be better to ask him to replace the 'unknown' one with another of the same type to save any potential future issues?View attachment 35071

Best thing you can do is ask for a more experienced engineer to come out and have a look as your not happy
Will leave this thread open for now but I'm keeping my eye on it
Think I said this in about post 7Agree. Good engineer reqd asap. End of.
