Hello all I was hoping some one may be able to help me. I have a Potterton performa 28i, thanks to some help on the forumns already I've been able to get all of my radiators warm (balancing them). However, before that, I had a plumber/engenear attend, who looked inside the...

Good day all. I was hoping that some people could provide me with some decorating tips. I recently bought an ex-council property in a block of flats, solid concrete floor, and brick/ black breeze block walls. Central heating had been installed prior to us moving in, and the pipe...

It would appear that the "balancing" was what I needed to do. After fiddlin with the valves it would appear that I have all heaters working, or at least hot. I am not certain that it is the same as last year, as in the past I COULD get the radiators to the point where I would not want to...

Thanks for that :) I did a quick search for magnetite, and it also explained balancing (updated my post, but you were just too darn quick!)

If the radiators/pipes are full magnetite, could I expect any discolouration of the water when bleading (or disconneting a pipe and letting the water out from the actual pipe)?

Nope, none of the radiotors have their own thermostats, the hot water gets to all radiators, one at a time, but not all at once (or even three at a time, there are 4). When you say balancing, do you mean some thing along the lines of the following "restricting the flow of water through the...

What is a remeha? I had a quick look on the definitions page, and there was nothing mentioned. With regards to cleaning, when I was checking to make sure there were no air bubles, I recycled about 10 litre's of water, and there was no disculouration at all, so I'm assuming that it is clean...

After summer, I had to call out a plummer, due to the heating not working, it turned out to be due to the valve that controls whether it is the heating that is heater, or the hot water. After a bit of fiddling (hitting it mainly), it was unstuck, and the heating started to work. However, I...

Thanks for all the helpful replies all. It looks as though people seem to feel that the Performa range is in it's own right a good model to have, so I will probably go with a new one of those. Just to clarify or re-emphasize a point. The current boiler is knackared, and we need a new...

Thanks for the quick responses, it would appear that the mini boiler is only a few CM's in each direction smaller (which is still nice to know), however, it wasn't the substantial reduction I was hoping for ;) Regarding moving it, unfortunatley being in a block of flats the options are very...

Hello All I recently moved in to an ex-council property, that has it's own central heating system, I've been having problems with it over the last few months, and as such am looking to replace it. At the moment I have a Potterton Performa 28i, however was hoping to find a smaller unit...
