    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    For example, I am not askin how to adjust the pressure for the replacement aps for that particular boiler, but can someone tell me if this sort I thing is standard for a certified engineer/plumber too know? I.e. someone is not just gonna roll up, fit the part and leave it in a possible unsafe...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    Errr, I am not, if you read my last post then you will know this! I was asking how to tell or check what a certified person should be doing and the costs to get it done.

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    Funnily enough though, I actually agree with general advice that my dad shouldn't fit this part himself and should get someone in to do it. Therefore what are the risks when changing the APS, which I can then use to convince I'm to get someone in to do it. And that's apart from it being...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    Cheers. There is a replacement part for the original. Just I had read a few things saying it was not quite a drop in part. But of course, there is no such thing as a common aps that will do the job for any boiler. I had read that it seems hard to get any certified engineers out for this...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    You know what, usually I find people on this site happy to be of help, shame the same can't be said here eh! Slagging off someone's competence when you don't even know them, just for asking for clarification or information is childish and not helpful. Which makes me question why you bother to...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    Fair enough I bow I your superior judgement on the fitting. As I said though, would still be nice to know if there are any differences in fitment and wiring though, do any information would be greatly received.

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    Cheers! I am one if those people who like to be fore warned and forearmed with information so like to do my research before coming across any issues! Seeing as the original Honeywell part is no longer available (or so I am told) I have done some checking and found that someone else, one...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    So you have any details for the replacement part, such as make, if it's a direct figment or slightly different wiring etc? I appreciate what you are saying and as a diy'r (both me and dad, though it was him who both designed and fitted the entire heating system), I guess it sounds like its...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic - Air Pressure Switch

    I am hoping someone can help me. My Dad has a Potterton Netaheat Electronic 16-22 boiler which has developed the apparently common issue with the air pressure switch, meaning every know and then it fails to run and he has to take the tube off and blow down it to reset the switch. More...

    Adhesive for quartz tiles

    I have just laid some Gulf Stone Black Opal quartz (resin comglomerate) tiles in my ensuite and did a load of research on adhesive. Recommendation would be to use BAL PTB Flexible as it has a low water content in the mix. Apparently these resin mix tiles can be sussesptable to cupping once...

    Correct tile sealer

    Correct tile sealer

    cheers tictac. I spoke to Lithofin and they recommended MN powerclean and then MN stainstop. Does anyone know how these compare to the products Topps Tiles sells - or even if Topps sells Lithofin products?

    Correct tile sealer

    Could someone tell me which would be the best tile cleaner and then sealer for some black opal tiles (Gulf Stone conglomerate quartz resin). I understand Lithofin seem to be around the best, but they have so many different products its hard to choose! I presume you clean + seal before...

    Tiling on floorboards

    you could life the floor boards in this room and replace with 25mm WBP ply? Though I am not sure if the same thickness ply is more bendy than the same thickness in pine floorboards (thinking 18mm here not 25)! How about using a Ditra matting on top and belt and braces - this will help reduce...

    How flat should a tile be?

    Just spoke to Porcelanosa and they say that for large tiles such as these (600 mm long x 300mm) then a small amount of bowing is normal (minor) but that they don't recommend laying large tiles in a brick bond as this would then be noticeable. Which I can understand. So, is this really the...
