Hot Water Cylinder 2-Port Valve Replacement in E1

Recently we had a customer in E1 who had a problem with their water. They called us because they weren’t getting any water. On Time Plumbers replaced the 2-port valve of their hot water cylinder.

The customers property uses a stored hot water system. This system has a 2-port valve. It controls the hot water flow to the cylinder. If the 2-port valve fails the cylinder doesn’t get heat. Then the property doesn’t have a hot water supply.

 

The client called On Time Plumbers. They said there was no water coming out.. Their heating system was working fine. This is an issue. It happens to properties, with a stored hot water cylinder. The problem is the 2-port motorised valve. When it gets stuck or breaks or doesn’t respond to the heating controls the cylinder doesn’t get water. The 2-port valve is important. It helps get water to the cylinder. If it fails there is no water. On Time Plumbers fixes the 2-port valve. We make sure the customer has water again.

Some of the problems associated with a faulty 2-port valve include:

Once our plumber has arrived on-site at the customer’s property, he will be able to perform a complete inspection of the hot water cylinder arrangement, pipes, controls and existing 2-port valve for the issue.

investigated the requirement for hot water from the controller and temperature sensor, confirmed that the actuator is operating correctly.

The hot water cylinder cannot heat because the actuator is not working correctly.

The 2-port actuator is faulty; therefore, the customer needs a new actuator to get the hot water system operating.

On Time Plumbers has safely isolated the system and removed the faulty 2-port actuator from the hot water cylinder pipework and replaced it with a new 2-port actuator.

The work we have completed includes:

– Inspected the hot water cylinder

– Tested both the heating controls and the hot water demand

– Diagnosed that the 2-port actuator was faulty

– Safely isolated the affected pipework

– Removed old actuator

– Installed new actuator

– Reconnected and tested system

– Checked hot water temperature and flow

– Checked for leaks and correct operation

When the new actuator was fitted and tested with hot water requests, the cylinder started up again, and the customer would have hot water.

The system regained normal operation after replacing the hot water cylinder 2-port valve after it malfunctioned. Hot water returned to the taps and hot water valve was opening and closing as normal with hot water controls.

It is a good illustration of how a small, but important heating element can upset the whole hot water system. Failure of the 2-port valve may signal that the cylinder, boiler or programmer is not working, but since a good repair can be done without replacing a larger part of the system, the problem can often be diagnosed and the 2-port valve fixed.
