Possible Causes
Closed radiator valves in De Dietrich heating circuit, Blocked dirt separator or filter, Undersized or stuck pump speed, Sludge in system restricting flow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the system to cool before opening any filters or valves.
Steps:
- Open valves: Ensure all radiator and underfloor heating valves are open, especially near the boiler.
- Clean system filter: If a magnetic filter or dirt separator is installed, isolate it, depressurise if needed, and clean out sludge and debris.
- Check pump setting: On variable‑speed pumps, ensure the speed is not set too low. Adjust according to the installation manual.
- Bleed system: Remove air from high points and radiators.
Professional help: Persistent flow issues may require a power flush and pump or pipework modifications.
