    Potterton suprema he lockout light

    Since you're saying circ' problems you mean the lights are: (left to right) ON - FLASH - FLASH? If so then yes, first check circulation, feel the system pump- is it vibrating? Is there water in system, can you hear water flow or air movement in pipes when boiler starts with a demand for heat...

    potterton 100e

    When you open a hot tap, the cold water flowing into the boiler cools the wax stat, causing it to close the valve that normally allows primary heating flow to your rads, giving more available heat to dump into heating your hot water. When you close the tap, the lack of cooling effect combined...

    Mains 30he no heating or hot water

    Hi, obviously I cannot see what your attending eng did when he 'checked' the knob/potentiometer position, but I would still say the knob position sounds most likely. Given you say the boiler runs up to about 50deg then cuts out, with presumably no further error lights, it would suggest that, as...

    Mains 30he no heating or hot water

    The eng likely didn't reset CH/DHW Temp knobs when fitting new pcb and the CH temp knob is 180deg out of position.

    Megaflo airgap - recharging the bubble?

    No, the OP wasn't asking about working on his DHW system, they simply wanted to know how to 'recharge' the air bubble in a Megaflow cyl. Since the system is a mains pressure water store, turning off the inlet and opening an outlet, first relieves the pressure stored. Then water can only...

    Baxi ecogen boiler

    Yeah supposedly only being supplied to BG and Valor for now. However... went to one today installed by a couple of guys that do renewables (well their gas safe guy installed it-they obtained it), they did say it wasn't that easy to get hold of... Looks good tho - tech wise - not...

    who wires the boiler?

    There's meant to be separation of at least 25mm to cables etc, and 150mm? (i think) to switchgear,meters and the like. However - its not an uncommon situation, most boilers end up with random wires having to cross over the pipes below the boiler. :roll:

    Coat/protect interior oak doors

    Hi all, looking for some advise. Got some nice new oak veneer doors and trying to work out what I should put on them to seal/protect. Don't want to change the colour of the doors too much, and would like to maintain/enhance the look of the grain. What would you all recommend, was thinking...

    Running power to garage through garden - how?

    I thought it was hydraulic since the air hose attached to a control box, that varied the power to the mole, and that seemed to be leaking quite a bit of oil - maybe it was just lubricant from the air-line?? When we got the mole round it was for running new mains pipes, so usually once the...

    Running power to garage through garden - how?

    Moles (the type mentioned above - not furry/blind ones) are great, often used for running news cold mains service. The mole uses percussive action via a internal weight moving back and forth, powered by hydraulics - run off a compressor, to hammer its way forwards. As mentioned you need...

    Which modulating system boiler?

    It cant do mid-pos - since boiler can only output at a set temp, and as WC no-where near hot enough for HW cyl, the normal method would be to set cyl to heat before heating is req'd in morning. Then boiler modulates back down and diverter switches back to the CH.The boiler has two inputs for...

    Auto switch off device

    Bit like Steve had mentioned above, you could use one of these Immersion Timer , Easily overrated for a small pond pump, but with a simple press sets the power for 30, 60, 120 mins. Dunno if that would be long enough for you tho? Again would need to be mounted in a patress box etc. EDIT...

    Worcester Bosch Low Pressure

    You need to look for one of these (or similar)- Between the 4th and 5th copper pipes (counted from left), the 4th being the smaller 15mm pipe(cold mains inlet) and the 5th being 22mm (Heating return). As previously mentioned they often have the habit of being 'lost' behind kitchen...

    Explaining Main Bonding to customers

    Afraid not - not required at all by Gas regs, however you will normally find the comment that all pipes to boiler must be cross-bonded, hidden within small print in boiler M.I's somewhere. BUT, as you said, the pipe jig, or at least the connection plate with the inlets (brass compression...
