boiler overflow pouring water out when the mains water tap is on

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.35 PM

problem with combi boiler was serviced and scaled 3 month ago, now the hot water is fine in radiators but when hot tap is on water gets luke warm and boiler cuts off as thought there is pressure build up or something, have bled radiatiators, boiler settings are what they should be, but now the outlet overflow pipe is spouting water out when the mains water tap is on -ANY IDEAS PLEASE the heater exchange i believe it is called and the boiler was de scaled at a cost of £100 only 7 week ago

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Did they take off the secondary heat exchanger and de scale it or did they just flush through the boiler? sounds like there is a blockage in the secondary heat exchanger to me.

COULD BE THE FILLING LINK IS OPEN ALLOWING TO MUCH PRESSURE OR THE BLOW OFF VALVE HAS FAILED
