I have a Truma Combi 4e boiler on which we have a hot water problem. Since the winter, we cannot get the hot water to work due to a constant air lock. First time we started the hot water it took the usual time to bring the water through the boiler, expel the air and get water out through the shower, bath tap and then kitchen tap. It then flows fine.
However, within a very short time of turning the hot water tap off, we have to go through the same process filling the boiler again, as though somehow air is getting in. I have replaced both the hot water drain valve and the breather valve at the top to no avail. I cannot see a non return valve between the water tank and the boiler but anyway the tank and the boiler are the same level and the cold water tank is full.
The boiler seems to be sounding as it should, and the inside heating is working very well but no hot water is coming out as though the burner is heating the air but not water.
Any suggestions gratefully received
