anyone have an idea?

Potterton heating timer has gone a little ape. Even with central heating switched to 'off' ..not on timer..we still get the central heating coming on when we are only (according to the on off lights) heating the tap water.

cant seperate central heating from normal hot water anymore. worked for a few years previous.

Im thinking new box needed but you never know. Might be a common thing.

I can't answer your question, but interestingly we've got exactly the same thing happening. Only noticed it yesterday when we finally decided the time had come to switch off the heating - despite the heating being switched to "off" the radiators are still hot when the water's being heated.


Hopefully someone has a simple answer!

Sounds like it might be the motorised valve that closes off the supply to heating or water. They're usually in little grey steel boxes (often made by Honeywell) beneath the boiler where all the pipes come out. There is often a little lever that allows you to work them manually - which can work as a temp measure at least.


Motorised valves


Basically if it's failed and stuck open, when you heat water it will flow into the CH pipes as well.

    • I hope you had it marked on the bike register.  Many stolen bikes end up on Gumtree (mine did) so check listings. https://www.gumtree.com/for-sale/sports-leisure-travel/bicycles/uk/srpsearch+condor  if the listings is a copy and paste from the bike company website that is almost definitely stolen, or details are scant.  When they talk about how long they had the bike, the sort of journeys, what they have done to maintain and improve it etc they will be genuine. I've got no advice on how to do a sting and get it back,
    • If everybody boycotted the DKH Sainsbury's, no doubt the heating would quickly be either turned up or fixed 🤬 Any journalists on here who would like to publicise it in the local press?
    • Aria stopped a water leak in our toilet and then replaced it quickly and efficiently just before Christmas. This is the second job he’s done for us and we’re very happy with both. I can recommend Aria to anyone needing a plumber. 
    • Sadly not any more, see my edit above. May now be 2am for some houses 😭
