Should it completely seal one side of the system when it's switched to heating or water only? Mine just restricts it. Can still blow through it if I try
Thanks for this video. I have had problems with my heating working intermittently for the last few months. It will work fine for a few days or maybe a week and then the boiler won’t fire when the call for heat is made. If I turn it all off for a couple of days and then start again it will work again for a while. I assumed it was the boiler at fault nd maybe the PCB but then I noticed the hot water on its own works fine, boiler fires no problem and it works as it should. It only seems to be when CH only is selected. I can hear the boiler clicking on and off trying to start so I think it communicates with the room stat, goes to start and then the mid position actuator doesn’t move as it should.
here it looks like fresh water is going through the same pipe as the dead water inside the closed radiator circuit. but that seems unhealthy that the fresh drink water and radiator water can get in touch even if it is just some small remainings that guided to the new opening.
Brilliant visual demonstration! Excellent explanation too.
Brilliantly visually demonstrated.
Genius, such a simple but clever way to explain it, even I could see how it works now, thank you.
Lovely video mate thanks for that. Would be keen to see the others you have planned!
Good video I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE Thanks from Dave
Brilliant video. So basically visual. Great idea for dummod like me ! 😀
Well explained.
Many thanks for the information.
dude I've seen way duller vids than this - this was inspiring! More 3 port valve vods please! :)
Tell you what Pete nice set up that like the torch idea to show it 👏 👍👍👍👍
Did you ever produce the follow-up videos ypu mentioned. I would love to see them!

You mentioned that the Motorhead may be malfunctioning.
What happened to the rest of the videos???
Brilliant thank you, mine clicks lol and I get heating and water not one or other always both

Will this affect the bill?
Most common reason for warm or hot water flowing to heating system with no demand for heating is poor seating of the valve port.
