[QUOTE="Roderick Smith, post: 412757, member: 27315"] Thanks Dave we live just outside Minehead Nr Porlock. I have started to video today first with our tank which can be an issue but not like tank 2. I have purchased a water thermometer to get a better idea of tap temperatures. I will edit and post video tonight to start the process off, this evening I will then video the tank 2 reaction to temps etc. I appreciate and except this will take some time to get a better picture before someone comes in and repairs, hence the video so you guys can look at what happens over time etc when the water 1 is done separate, water 2 done separate, maybe both together, CH on its own and then all 3 together. When the CH engineer came out he often increased boiler temp to get CH hotter down the far end of the house, plus working pump on full speed, but thats when the water in tanks got too hot! Most of the radiator valves went in 1st year or so, a new motorised valve was replaced, the guy who came for that said we were lucky as he had one but they don't make them anymore. We used to have a huge air problem then one day I noticed a small stain on ceiling and realised it was under CH pipes. He said it was a joint he forgot to solder, guess one small mistake is acceptable. We have complaints about water temp from time to time and apologise but then for a while none, so we did not explore further, now its time we accepted the responsibility to get this sorted. Thanks for your time as the rest of the guys here, will post later [/QUOTE]
