Water heater turns itself off

[electricsheep]

I have a Medway Super which lights fine but turns itself off once I've turned the hot water tap off - does sound like a problem with the diaphram?

No. Its meant to work that way.

If it didn't you'd have real cause for concern!

Do you actually mean that the pilot light goes out when you stop running HW ? and you have to keep re-lighting the pilot ?

Not a big deal and common with them, just needs a proper service, they dont like being neglected, nothing you can do yourself Im afraid
