When this happens is there water in the cistern?
Is the pump removing the water to fast? What happens if you slow the flow?

as far as im aware,checking the inlet valve maybe the next step on cws as you said perhaps cws is emptying before filling hwt and filling pipe work with air before having chance to fill ??????????
i have never been there when problem occurs but removing air from pipe from hot feed to pump solves problem then seems to fill again ??? |
