I have the Potterton Heatmax Combi boiler, and the HW is very iffy. Turn on a hot tap, and nothing happens Turn on heating, and then turn on a hot tap, and it has a bit of hot then cold then warm then cold constantly like that with each bit of HW lasting less than 2 seconds each time. The CH is...

Hi I have taken the plunge and bought a Google Nest 3rd Gen that will control both the heating and hot water. There is also a Honeywell thermostat but we tend to use the programmer as the thermostat is in a stupid place in the hallway which is freezing cold next to the door next to the radiator...

We're having issues with the pressure on our Potterton Performa 24 boiler, it currently stands at zero. When the water is turned on it goes up to 0.2 absolute max. We're having issues getting hot water in our bathroom because of this. I'm attaching a picture of our pipes - I've marked the two...

We've moved into a new (to us) house, with an old boiler, and an old programmer (Potterton EP 2002). The heating is erratic, which seems to be because the switches on the programmer are dodgy; so I want to replace it. We're planning a renovation within the next year, which will involve moving...

Hi all, Hoping someone will be able to help me please. I have a Potterton ProMax Combi 28 HE Plus, and recently the hot water pressure seems to have dropped, I can get hot water on my taps but only when the demand is for hot water only, as soon as you mix it with cold water the hot water light...

Hello all, Does anyone have previous experience of noisy Potterton boilers (Promax Ultra Combi 28 ErP)? Intermittently this will let out a deafening long howl after it reaches temperature (immediately prior to the howl it sounds like an aeroplane descending). This can come and go during times...

I have a Potterton Powermax HE 85 boiler, which is about 15 years old. This morning I noticed the boiler was off so I checked the house electrics to make sure there was no trip switch activated - there wasn't. I am insured with Baxi who are visiting next Thursday to repair and do a service...

Hello The water light is on constantly on this boiler. No water is running. But it won’t go out and as a result the Heating does not work. I have switched the boiler off and also tried the reset as per instructions. But as soon as I turn the boiler back on the water light stays on. If I run the...

I have a potterton boiler that’s leaking water from under the control panel. Just seems to be a few drops every few days. It seems to be working otherwise. Worried it’s on its last legs. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi I have a Potterton Gold combi, about 15 yrs old, and a thermostatic shower. When the shower is run, the boiler doesn't always ignite or if it does, it cuts out after 30-45 secs. I don't have this issue if i run a bath. In fact, i notice that if the shower runs cold and i switch on the HW...

We have a 60s house with a single pipe central heating system About 3 weeks ago I went into the loft as I was going to fit a new radiator so I planned to block the breather and feed pipe in the central heating header tank. To my surprise the water was boiling hot. I shut down the heating system...

I am attempting to self install my Tado thermostat. Having removed the cover on my existing Potterton termostat I am presented with the following (see attached screenshot). The Tado guide says label the wires and connect wire 2, 1 and 4. On my unit I have no wire in terminal 1. Any help would be...

Hi all I'm looking for some advice / views please. I have an old (installed 2000) Potterton Kingfisher MF RS50 boiler that has developed an intermittent fault. My system is gravity fed with a cold water tank and header tank in the loft and a single zone switch which - I'm told - is why I can...

Hello, Can you please advise me if my wiring diagram looks correctly? I've ordered few days ago Hive without installation and from what I've gathered that seems how it should be looking like, but I would ideally need confirmation from somebody that knows better then my very amateurish skills...

My Combi Gold 33 HE just went into a state where it is indicating hot water demand all the time, so obviously we are getting no CH and the burner is firing up , fan turning on and off every few minutes. I believe this is a problem with the DHW flow sensing function so took the hall effect...

Anyone able to help with this one. I need to fit a bypass valve to a POTTERTON PROMAX COMBI 28 HE PLUS A. The instructions for most of these bypass valves (Honeywell DU144 for example) seem to come with a chart where I have to refer to the pump speed and minimum flow rate for the boiler. This...

Hi all I hope some kind soul out there can help with this. I am a novice but willing to learn. The whole concept of water heating systems and electricity is voodoo to me, but I have tried to educate myself with hours of internet research and I think I am getting there but I need some help and...

Hi, I’ve had a Potterton Kingfisher MF CF 100 Floorstanding boiler in the outside shed for 20 years and it’s still working brilliantly. I had my annual gas service and Homeserve spotted that the internal flue tube (goes up to the shed roof and out) had corrosion and a hole. They shut off the...
