Very interesting, thank you.

Keith, You are an exceptionally good tutor. Explained this problem so well. I have had the Drayton Wiser system installed about 8 months. Pleased with it, but this cold spell the boiler& the pump started to run when heating & H/w is turned off. The Wiser guys (German branch included), has not offered me an acceptable explanation. But, this morning I played your UA-cam video! Bless you 🙏 & thanks for sharing your wisdom.

A most exellent video sir,thanku

Excellent vid, i have 2 zone heating and the down stairs has been broken for a while now and its God dam freezing, now i know what the issue is, and i have located the valve, all i need is a plumber to replace it, thank you for a great vid.

The limescale was getting me, thanks for the tip!

Great stuff 👍

Hi trying to install new relief valve and the pipe that comes out of boiler got some rust is that gonna be ok to add an extension pipe and then install the relief valve to that fort the future so if i need to change the valve i just removing the valve that is installed to the extension pipe just want to make sure it is not affecting pressure or anything thx

EXCELLENT THANKYOU VERY MUCH

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, you've helped to diagnose the problem I am having, very clearly explained.

Great vid , where does the washer sit in the spindle , should it block the hole or sit just above it ??

You are the best

Cheers keith had to watch a couple of times but video is very helpful

Thanks for a very clear explanation. I've been looking for something to explain this for a while. If I hadn't already booked a heating engineer because of my boiler staying on all the time (even when the room stat is down and the programmer is in the Off position) I would have attempted to replace the zone valve myself as I now understand that the microswitch is probably to blame.

I give you 1000 out of 100 very well explained. I was stuck this area

Thank you for a clear explanation, I now know what my central heating engineer needs to do to fix my similar problem at home

Thank you so much for a brilliant explanation, followed your tutorial and discovered it was the micro switch in the heating motorised valve that was faulty. Quick visit to Screwfix and a new unit was bought and fitted within the hour. Now the boiler light is only on when I want heating or hot water. Thanks for saving me a pot of money Keith. Quick question....I live in a big 4 bedroomed house with 22 radiators in all, what setting speed should the pump be on as it has 3 speeds. Your help, as in the video would be greatly appreciated.

So the bomb does not move up and down freely within the flush pipe it would appear. I’m confused to be honest how is the seal between the rubber hemisphere and the porcelain broken for the second part of the flush if it’s rigidly fixed in. Got to replace mine and don’t want to balls it up through mis understanding.

Screw driver formally known as the death stick 🤔 💥 throw it way and get your self a GS38 recognised voltage indicator 👍

Thankyou.Very useful and excellent explanation.I have changed the motor but yet the radiator lights up but I don,t see the motor working.Manually it works.Do you think the wires going to the motor are faulty.Can you help me or should I just change with a new one like you did in the video.Thanks

Keith, How many gallons of water does this tank hold?

Brilliant video, When my hot water comes on and the heating side is off the radiators heat up. I changed the Drayton ZA6 Actuator and the problem is worse as with the old Actuator it was only a few radiators ypstairs that came on, but since I bought a new Actuator all the radiators in the house are heating up - any idea what the problem could be?

Great .got my head around it now.as others have said don't use the neon screwdriver it's frowned upon by electricians.

i have a honeywell zone valve that wasnt opening i checked t stat all good there. tried to put in Manual position wouldnt slide over was stuck, took cover off motor very hot to touch! pulled head off valve body assembly tried to turn stem with wrench was hard to turn would not stay in position kinda sprung back but got it open enough to get some water to that zone to warm up toe kick heater. once i got it opened a bit i hooked power back up and all it did was make real fast clicking noise any ideas?? probaly replace whole assembly? or try motor first??

BRAVO!!!! Thank you so much for such an easy explanation. This video should have a million views!

Fantastic explanation and a very well thought out method of showing exactly what should happen with the system. I now know what my problem is and, with your help, should be able to fix it. Many thanks for producing one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam.

Perfect video but what supplies power the the chipboard in the wiring centre i assume its the 3amp spur and is that from the main fuse box or is that seperate

Is checking the orange wire for power in this way, indicative of a failed heating 2 way valve as well ?

Keith for God's sake don't use those dam stupid neon screwdrivers get one of those non conductive light stick so much safer,or a test meter,good video.

Hi Keith, I have a drayton 3-port valve on my system, I'm wondering if you can solve the problem I'm having with it...with the central heating control turned off and just the hot water selected on the programmer, the motor drives the valve right across to the hot water only position, but after a few seconds goes back to the centre position and remains there giving a constant clicking sound. This of course allows hot water to the radiators when it shouldn't. I've removed the head to take a look and the valve is quite easily operated with my fingers, the motor seems to run ok, could it be one of the micro switches causing this problem? Your help would be much appreciated, Ken.

Thankyou. That just saved me a lot of money. Brilliantly clear explanation.

I often pop onto UA-cam for a quick brush up on techniques employed by other plumbers and this I have to say, is one of the best video's I've watched to-date. Really well explained and the dummy set up to visually see how it all works was a big plus for anyone looking to undertake this kind of work. Ten out of ten Keith. I take my hat off to you.

Hi Keith great video very informative. I have a Sunvic 3 port valve that buzzes when the heating is off and drives us mad at night. If i boost the hot water you can hear the motor either start to drive or return then i can turn off the water and all is quiet! Any ideas? I dont have a problem taking it apart if needs be.

Hi Keith, thanks for vid. My CH diverter makes a clicking noise on start up and then goes quiet. It appears to be working fine, opening and closing etc. Any idea?

Keith, having trouble with a Balterley Syphonic WC therefore your video is realy helpful. It seems many people including plumbers have no idea regarding the syphonic. Unfortunately I do not know the make of the siphon within the cistern! Therefore finding an exact replacement syphonic bomb black washer is not easy - does it need to be exact size? Does the bomb black washer need to move freely up and down the bomb shaft? Lastly, why was it necessary to change the bomb itself and not only the bomb black washer, they dont look the same? Thanks again. Mal

Great vid Keith, do you do a similar exercise for the mid position valve, that would really help me?

I would have thought someone would have done the toilet paper trick

Top man practically done best so far I watched

Good vid ..but please throw that neon tester away and get a proper one :)

Good video, but for easier ways of doing this, look at the taphandle puller, or the easytapsplitter from ABDtools, videos on youtube.

Thank you very much, this solved my problem!

as a keen diy man I'd love to do a set up like that with power going to it to practice with. could you shed some light on that please

Wonderfully explained, can you also please shed light on how to do a wiring box.

Brilliant Keith! Great Video and really helpful in explaining why the **** toilet paper was not flushing away! Didn't have a clue what the syphonic bomb was for and we don't want the expense of replacing the toilet just now! 5 star vid.*****
