Dear all
Renting a flat with a fairly outdated central heating system
We were away from the flat for a week last week and i turned the water and the heating off. On returning we found the radiators fired up no problem but we had no hot water. I inspected the tank in the airing cupboard to find it empty. After finding that the water was reaching the ballcock valve in the top of the tank but not actually coming through, i have changed the valve and it has solved that issue - but the water is still not heating up
I cannot locate a three way valve to check if it is stuck - its not visible to me around the boiler or tank. There is also no reset button on the immersion heater. Please see pictures of the system for your reference. Any help you can give me is appreciated as i would like to eliminate all simple checks before i contact the landlord
Thank you - Ash
