I did a full drain down before winter and as I am supposed to going to the rally in Chester in 5 days, I started a flush and clean of the water system on Friday. After filling the water tank and opening the taps I noticed there was good cold water flow but nothing from the hot side. Switched on the water heater (without EHU) and it blew the fuse. It's the same 5 amp fuse that runs the warm air heater!
So now got no hot water or warm air heat.
Read up what I could find online and it seemed to be the non return valve on the cold inlet that could be the culprit. Got a new one this morning and removing the old one I saw the O ring on the valve had disintegrated. After fitting the new non return valve I did get reasonable water flow from the hot side of the taps but and here's the real problem ..........
There is a slow but steady water leak/drip from the under side of the Carver and it is still blowing the fuse.
Checking out replacement units, it seems the Henry that replaced the Carver is now also not available.
Any ideas?
I guess I could isolate the Carver water heater, I can live with out hot water but I don't want to freeze my butt in Chester (esp as the forecast is lousy). I'm not booked in for EHU as I wanted to try the 4 nights without hook up.
