@myanthony

The pipe with the isolation valve with the blue handle, to what equipment does the pipe connect?

@derek-m I’m sure that’s for old biomass connection.

Can you send more detailed photos of the outside of the cylinder? I'm suspecting that it might be a thermal store...

There would appear to be two electrically operated valves, is that correct?

Does the flow pipe from the heat pump connect between these two valves?

@myanthony

It would appear that Hugh wishes to help, so rather than have too many 'cooks', I will leave you in his capable hands.

Best of luck in resolving your problems.

You are more than welcome.

I prefer to work through problems in a systematic and logical manner, particularly when the person seeking help is new to heat pumps. I suspect that having a number of forum members throwing different questions at them could actually be counterproductive.

It's going to be a difficult one to diagnose just off photos... I suspect that the ashp is batch charging the thermal store - that all needs re-plumbing if it ever stands a chance of working properly. Shame I'm basically the other end of the country.

This is one of the problems, you are arriving at conclusions without establishing the full facts.
