    Powermax 155 Blending Valve

    That may well be true i was just going by what the potterton sale rep told me. And yes i have visited potterton and they did say they did buy the powermax. I must descale 20 powermax boilers a year because of the hard water area but don't replace that many mixer valves just a few a year

    10 or 15mm?

    you run 10mm from a manifold and it depends on the load your taking. What load do you have off the 15mm already. You get about 11,000btus of 15mm so depends on load you already got and want to put onto it

    Powermax 155 Blending Valve

    where i live there is a whole est with powermax 155 and they need to be descaled about every 18 months to 2 years. But i will say if you don't descale them correctly it will only last about 3 months. you need to keep the ds3 going for a few hours for a good clean. These boilers are potterton but...

    How do you turn off the hot water supply in your house??

    you cant have a combi with a gledhill as they are thermal store. Your have a condensing boiler then a gledhill which will work off mains water.

    What boiler do I need ?

    You can have a new boiler but why would you if you don't have to. Even if you can't get the parts for the burn you can still have a new burner fitted and oil runs high on efficiency anyway. But if you still fancy a new boiler fit grant by a oftec engineer

    Powermax 155 Blending Valve

    Hi You will more lightly find the coil is scaled up and will need to be descaled. As the thermal store hot water heats your hot water supply this is the fastest way to make scale which the powermax does very well. when you are descaling the coil you can put the old mixer valve in the ds3 to...
