    Dry pressure testing

    OK, where do you derive 0.3mb from? I assume (dangerous I know....) that you meant 20mb, * 1.5 = 30mb. But, as standing pressure is meant to be circa 27mb (but, often goes to 30+mb before regulator takes it back down to nominal 27mb), a test of 27mb*1.5 would be closer to 41mb.... What do your...

    Mixed emotions

    If it is in the Daily Epxress Website, it must be all be truth? Really? Much disinformation. From all sides. I suspect that 'newspaper' websites (of all hues) pander to their regular reader types, and feed them what they expect to hear/read. Of course, I may be wrong. DH

    Sentinel Eliminator Filter

    Fitted one, seems to do just what it says on the can.... But they all do that. Not easy to use it as a dosing pot, as capacity is v small. I still tend towards Magnaclean Pro.

    Remeha Avanta boiler - pressure quickly goes from very low to very high

    Indeed there are, but in the Avanta it is inside the casing, which forms the room sealed compartment. Hence it is not a 'diy' area. I trust that when you have refitted it you have made all the checks necessary to ensure it's integrity? Beleive it or not, and only you know the real answer to...

    Ahh, but behind the front cover (which makes it 'room-sealed') is Gas Installer territory, so the DIYNot forum rules oughta some into play here.... surely DH

    Price for new boiler install

    Erm, no I have not visited the company, my 'tongue in cheek' answer is based on meeting their product on site, and I can honestly say that the only way is up..... Never fitted one, but it seems all manu's claim a unique selling point, eg country of manufacture, warranty length, brass...

    End of Baxi/Remeha Avanta boilers - why?

    I fitted dozens, and only had probs with one where rainwater deluged the insulation boards (vertical flue). Found Tech help and Heateam (once 'trained up' on them) only too happy to throw parts at it, and I have most of a new 35Kw one under my sideboard looking for a home... Surely that cost...

    Diverter Valve leaking on Vaillant EcoTec Plus 831 boiler

    There is no doubt a valid reason why the 'genuine' replacement parts are now made from a different material to the originals... not like the one pictured earlier.. It was not Vaillant's finest hour.... DH
