Does anyone have any experience of this filter ? Was looking at the Fernox Tf1 and the Spirotech Magnaboost and saw the Seninel one. Any opinions or experiences gratefully received. Thanks

I think I've fixed it, I have an identical boiler that has lots of newer parts on it, I took the wax capsule out of the other one and fitted it to my boiler, It made no difference. I had an issue with the main pcb some years ago and managed to fix it, the spare boiler had a new pcb fitted so I...

Small update. Got in from work and for some reason decided to try the heating while the boiler was cold, it fired up straight away but went off within 30 or so seconds. Hadn't noticed this before as the boiler's rarely stone cold what with running hot water. Does this make it sound like the...

No but thanks for the reply

Have searched for similar threads and although there are many the majority seem to be that their heating comes on briefly at least, my hot water is fine but when I try to get heating there's no ignition at all, the only activity I can hear is the pump but it seems a bit louder than usual and has...

i have a potterton puma 100e combi boiler , i did think for a while that the expansion vessel was going but now i'm not so sure. it runs away fine until intermitently when running hot water ( particularly the bathroom tap ? ) the pressure in the boiler will start to rise and if i'm not quick...

thanks for the reply , when you say to leave the existing vessel in situ and fit the new one on the return do you mean fit it to the existing take off point for the stock one ? thanks

hi, i have a potterton puma 100e combi boiler and the pressure vessel needs replacing , if i don't want to shell out for a stock one and instead fit a remote universal type outside the boiler how would i know what size to buy ? most people seem to suggest fitting a t piece to the existing one...

thanks for the reply , no additional radiators have been added , the expansion vessel is just the stock one which originally came with the boiler i'll try what you have suggested and will post back the results thanks

it's been some time since the boiler was last serviced , can't even remember when it was to be honest cheers

i've already posted an update on an older thread re this but i thought i should start a new thread for this i have a potterton puma 100e combi boiler and the prv sometimes activates but only when there's a hot tap running for a while , what could cause this ? the pressure vessel seems fine...

just an update the pressure vessel has been maintaining it's charge but the boiler pressure is still rising and activating the prv not all the time but every single time it has done it it's been when the hot water taps been running , does this point to any part in particular ? i have...

when i recharged the vessel i left the drain plug off and as i pumped up the vessel more water came out of the drain point , i then re-filled the system and pressed the valve on the vessel and there was no evidence of water coming out at all , i drained the system again and then recharged the...

not sure but it looks like i could get it out to replace it without taking the boiler off the wall , but i may very well be wrong , hopefully someone has done this job on this boiler before and knows thanks
