Hello,
I'm renting a flat and there is a Glow worm space saver 38 boiler. We don't want the heating to work, we just need warm water for taps. How can we do it? We had the boiler turned to a minimum level (the thinnest line), and the time control at 'off'. We decided to switch it off and see what happens. There was cold water only in the taps, and it seems to me that the flat became a bit colder as well. We think it was heating the house as well although it was 'off'. How does it work? The temperature in the flat is fine but cold water is annoying.
Thanks for any help!
I assume the boiler is not a combi. If so turn the heating pump off This will stop the hot water going to your radiators & if the set up is old enough your hot water will be gravity fed. If not Turn your room thermostat down to minimum & run the pump. You may hae a 3 way valve near the pump this may have failed in the heating plus hot water position Good luck
