I want to fit a Magnabooster MB3 to my central heating/hot water system.
I believe (but i'm not sure) it's a open vented system and there is a pump in the airing cupboard. It's very similar to the system shown in Diagram.
It has a hot water tank in the airing cupboard upstairs.
There are 2 expansion/header tanks in the loft - containing cold water.
The boiler is downstairs and the gap between the top of the boiler and the ceiling is about 155mm, so I guess the Magnabooster won't fit there.
Boiler is Potterton Prima F (not sure which model)
- Can't see where the Magnabooster would be fitted. Any ideas?
- Is it sufficient just to put PTF tape on the threads of the Magnabooster to make it water tight.
- Which is the Return pipe for the boiler?
- I guess I have to drain all the water out of the system from one of the radiators downstairs.
How do I stop the header/expansion tank feeding more water into the system?
- After fitting the magnabooster, when I fill up the system with water will there be airlcoks in the system and how do I bleed the air out?
- Obviously, need to put rust inhibitor when filling back up.
Any tips/pointers etc.
Anything to watch out for?
Anyone fitted one of these?
Thanks
