Potterton Performa 28 - System or Combi? Its either the Shower or the Boiler, we just need to determine a few things to work out which

Pegler Yorkshire are a 'leading brand' but a fitting is a fitting.

Does it ever come up with any fault codes? The symptoms sound like its either misfiring, due to warped ignition electrodes or your experiencing initial stages of thermistor faults... Does it ever sound loud when it lights up? like a loud 'bang' or rolf harris style 'wa-woomp'? I'd...

The only reason you would consider putting any form of valve prior to the tap is for maintenance reasons. With a mixer tap, it is strongly advised, as they do sometimes need to be repaired. A non-return valve is exactly what it says on the tin, when water has passed through, it will not be...

Are you sat next to the boiler 24 hours a day? Are you sure it hasn't fired whilst you were away from the boiler? Do the radiators get hot? does your hot water get hot? What's the problem?

Leave the boiler turned on, and turn down your Central Heating and Hot Water temperature selectors to their lowest settings. Also turn off your clock and turn down your Room Thermostat if you have one. This should prevent the boiler firing to give you a boost for running taps, and should...

The red knob you operated is a Pressure Relief Valve, so what you actually did was relieve pressure/open a tap and remove water from your system. To replace the water, you need to look for a 'filling link' - a silver, braided hose, usually with 2 taps, and open one at a time, whilst keeping...

Pardon me for being 'vague' but its 'one of them'... I believe, if you were to be doing this 'by the book' you'd have to do it, but there'd be no real need to, unless you were in social housing/commercial premises, in my opinion. You could always argue, you haven't actually replaced the...

If you wish to have the pipework earthed, then do the bathroom and call in an electrician to do it... You could even put earth clamps on to everything ready and have the electrician run a final earth to your consumer unit. The job itself is very easy to do.

I doubt very much, you yourself, will notice a difference... However, it is apparently proven that they do reduce emissions. I think Worcesters come with them as standard now?

Wide.Open.

Light the coal(s).

No water at all, or the water isn't hot? Do any other Hot taps work? is the water hot? You need to be more specific.

I'd love to see the next time a similar scenario is thrust upon him... "what is that black stuff anyway, Jack?" "SOOT. OR CARBON. NOT CO2." haha!

Vitiated.... He knows what he's talking about, but it just needs fine-tuning. Kudos to him for his original post, asking what the flame picture was like, unfortunately, it just went wrong from there... Courtesy of us lot, none the less.

Your not a tw@. You were just acting tw@ish. As I mentioned, you need to be 100% correct, with a username like that, or people are going to give you hell. Go back to basics, and ask yourself, 'whats missing from the complete combustion equation'? A clue, would be to consider what you...

I was joking, young man. But you are doing nothing for yourself by having such a username. You do realise, everything you post will now be seen by the latest addition to our fantastic company? Those office bodies who are trawling the internet looking for people badmouthing us, and our...

He's bled it... Couldn't be air, surely? Did you 'bleed it' until water came out? Are all the other radiators getting hot?

Did you open the new valve up, once you'd installed it? :lol:

And changed your bloody username, your giving the rest of us a bad name! [I, for the record, am not a Meter Fitter]
