From my examination of the Magnaclean installation guides, they recommend that the Magnaclean should only be fitted after the system vent pipe. I assume this is to comply with building regs, because the Magnaclean has isolation valves, and if closed, could stop the system venting? My problem...

I have a 'Terrier' stat fitted to my DHW tank, and noticed (like room stats) that its quite inaccurate when switching off/on for hot water. Its almost 10 degrees of a spread ! I've had a look and can find any digital stats for DHW tanks - has anyone come across one?

PS: Does anyone know if the Potterton Promax FSB 30 HE has an automatic bypass valve?

Many thanks - I'm definitely going to fit a Magnaclean !

now I'm probably going to open a can of worms, but I was going to take off all the radiators and flush them with a hose ! And currently in preparation for that I've stuck in as sludge remover which I intend leaving in for 4 weeks before doing the flushing. So I guess I'm questioning the need...

Thanks for replies - as I thought, siome would like the boiler and some dont...I #d be interested on why some dont like this boiler? And lastly, why Magnaclean on this particular boiler? Or is that fit it with any new boiler?

Thanks I thought as much ! I have a wall mounted room stat in the hallway, about 3m away from the hallway radiator, so I guess I just leave that radiator with standard valves? + auto bypass valve.

I'm about to upgrade my central heating system, and will be fitting new TRV's to the existing radiators - I seem to remember reading somewhere, thats it better to leave one radiator with standard valves on it - presumably so the boiler can never be pumping against a dead head - ie with all TRV's...

I'm upgrading my old FSB, and fancy the Potterton Promax FSB 30 HE. http://www.potterton.co.uk/99.htm Does anyone have any advice or information on this particular boiler? I know opinions vary on boilers, but it would be nice to get specific comments or personal experience.. Thanks...

Thanks - I think the Potterton wins it !

Thanks - 26.5 Kw from the SEDBUK calculator. These are my choices so far: Worcester Greenstar FS 30CDi Regular (30Kw) £1200 Potterton Promax FSB 30 HE (30Kw) £760 Ideal Mexico HE 24 (30Kw) £1200 The Potterton seems a good bet?

Hi, I have a rather old floor standing Gloworm Hideaway (60,000Btu/18Kw) output boiler. Its fitted in a utility room, under a 600mm kitchen unit. I suspect its somewhere in the region of at least 17 years old ! Although it runs perfectly, this winter 2 rooms were never quite warm enough...

Thanks folks - bought a full new flue kit.

Having given up on previous problems with an old Heatline combi, I'm about to purchase a Sabre (Vokera) combi for 350 quid. The vertical flue (100mm) on the existing boiler looks like new, and has all the roof fittings etc, so before I get someone to fit the new boiler, my question is can the...

Unashamed bump for desperate help !

Today's update and request for advice: I've fitted a new diverter valve kit, the leaking has stopped, and everything is bone dry, BUT the fuses on the PCB are still blowing? I've checked all the wiring and everything looks fine, so I'm struggling a wee bit now ! I'm going to check the...

Hi, I have a DSC system that was originally installed by Scottish Gas. I think its about 10 years old. Its a wireless system, with battery operated PIR's. Its given me all sorts of problems, and last year, I managed to get an ex SG installer to service it, and for a while it worked fine...

Sound advice thanks - Unfortunately I cant get fuses until tomorrow (Monday), I'll pick up a diverter valve repair kit at the same time. I've heard mixed views on these boilers, but I'm no expert and cant really comment. This boiler is in a rented flat, and its been running fine for...

Many thanks kinda thought that! I,l get a repair kit tomorrow and update if it works. Ta

Hi quite new to this so would appreciate some help if poss: I have a Heatline C24, that first of all blew the fused spur beside the boiler. When I changed the fuse, the diverter valve actuator seemed to be clicking, so I took it off, cleaned it it and stuck it back on. There was a wee bit of...
