deaths point to boiler

Well, it can't be the householder who was in police custody, he was on the news standing across the road crying over his uninsured ex-house

Any work i do on combustion is slated by engineers and way beyond DIYers.

I have the ability to work safe because I understand the job i do. Dont confuse my technical talk with free advise given to NRGI.

Sorry Soggy, but my comment was said in jest!

As for your comment regarding free advise given to NRGI, you have lost me.

relating to this subject ...i have a device plugged into the mains electric, which is supposed to detect carbon monoxide.The question is how long do these things last for ? it's been there for the last two years with it's little green light,instructions say that it will turn red with an audibul alarm if carbon monoxide is detected...but theres no mention of the life span..


vokera.


it's life jim,but not as we know it.......

Sorry mate, cant help you there, been mains fed.

Is there any manufactures phone numbers, or web site address.

Never really thought of that on one . Good question.

IMHO, CO detectors WHEN INSTALLED WITH ROOM-SEALED APPLIANCES are misleading and increase risk. (When there's an open-flue appliance, that's a different matter, although the question should really be: 'Should I scrap this appliance?'

I have NEVER come across a 'genuine positive' from such a detector EXCEPT in the case of an open flue. But I have come across several 'false positives', in one case where Transco had capped the whole supply 'just in case' although judging by the comment on the jobsheet, the tech actually thought the problem was the detector! Anyway, it left the house without heat, hot water or means of cooking until I could test everything and turn it back on.

And what about detectors which don't work correctly or at all, and lull users into a false sense of security? How many of these? Absolutely no idea!

Unfortunately there are several regulars here, not usually the CORGI ones, who insist on giving advice to DIYers on repairs to combustion related aspects of boilers including the positive pressure case models. They hide behind aliases and keep their identities well hidden!

Care to get specific Agile?

I dont remember giving any dangerous advice at anytime

Hope I have not

personally If I have I wiull blame kev and softus for putting me wrong

Whoa there cm - blaming me for what here exactly?

 

[corgiman]

I was kidding softus

I really was dont panic

ok I will just blame kev that ok for you LMAO

Seriously I have not seen a RGI give any advice that I would consider dangerous to a DIYer on this site.

I have seen more arguments between the groups when we say DONT, as the diyers dont believe us

Let this be a lesson it IS seriously dangerous to muck about with gas

You're kidding again - right?

Seriously I have not seen a RGI give any advice that I would consider dangerous to a DIYer on this site.

I concur. But Agile was referring to non-RGIs, I believe.

Oh my word, yes indeedy, yes sirree

Man Charged Over Three Deaths

A 49-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter after a woman and two young brothers were found dead in a house.

Atalokhia Omo-Bare, unemployed, of Marson House, Provost Estate, Islington, north London, will appear before Barking magistrates.

He is charged with three counts of manslaughter and two counts of grievous bodily harm at the address in Alderman Avenue, Barking, east London.

The bodies of the woman, in her 30s, and the two brothers, aged three and 18 months, were discovered on Friday.

Two women were taken in a critical condition to an east London hospital. Their condition is described as "serious but stable''.

Inquiries into the deaths initially centred on the possibility that they may have been caused by a faulty boiler.

Its difficult to immagine how this situation could have been mis diagnosed as carbon monoxide poisoning.

"A post-mortem examination suggested the woman may have been poisoned by carbon monoxide - more tests are being done"

Seems CO was to blame

How sad....poor kids..(i have young ones).

if he is to blame they should string him up
