green arrow dome part should unscrew can be tight so might need something to grip it that wont damage it
 
Try wrapping very roughly a few turns of electric insulating tape on the above part so your hand gets a really good grip.

POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler - Hot Water Issue
Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
