    Hi,
    Looking for some advice or diagrams for a 3 source heating system.
    I currently have an oil boiler, back boiler and solid fuel range.
    The oil and back boiler work fine and heat water and rads, the range will only warm the water at best, there must be a conflict somewhere.

    Any advice welcome
    Thanks

    All 3 sources are going to the cylinder, I think the back boiler and oil are teed in.
