Hi can anybdy help
I have just bought a Talbot Express 1991 and cant get the hot water to work, the last owner never used the hot water so he could not help.
the boiller is a Carver Cascade MK2 and the water pump is a
Shurflo 8000 243-131.
The problem
when i turn on a the taps this activates the pump as normal, turn on a hot tap there is a slow flow of water that stops after a few seconds and, the pump is not activated.
The pump is only conected to the cold water going into the boiler, and is not conected to the hot water anywhere,is this right.
Im thinking that when you use a hot tap the water pressure in the boiler drops, the cold water then tops up the boiler and this activates the pump, is this right.
None of the taps have micro switches.
can anyone please help.
