powermax

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...

Re Visonic Powermax. I recently changed the sim card in the GSM module. Now, the system arms okay but it is reporting a "Network Error" and when the alarm goes off the system fails to call out to my mobile phone like it did before. I have tested the new sim card in a mobile device and it works...

I'm having a ignition fault on my Powermax HE boiler with error code A01. There is no 'visible' spark being generated on the ionisation probes (tested on new and existing probes - 3 different units, all gapped at 3mm so the fault isn't here). However the output from the PCB is registering 180v...

Hi all. OK, I know you get this a lot and I apologise. I've read a lot of posts regarding the 'best' boiler and I'm not asking for that, only some advice on who to believe and your own boiler preference. The situation: A three storey town house. Gas enters at ground floor front door, rises to...

Hello, I installed a Powermax wireless alarm last year. Really happy with it. Installation was tricky as not being a pro I found the instructions hard to follow but got there in the end. However i couldnt set the zones/PIRs up properly to allow me to have the alarm on overnight with the house...

Moved into a flat with a Powermax 155x boiler. Have the hot water on at set times and the central heating off. The radiators are getting warm (not boiling hot) still when the hot water is on only. Just wondering why this would be, and also is this costing us more money as we are...

So every 4 years or so the mixing valve on our PowerMax 185 gives up and the only way to get a hot bath is to run the tap at a trickle. I've replaced it 3 times so far over the 17 years the boiler has been fitted, resolving the issue each time, and I've just bought the next one as the problem...

Hi folks, my little boy tore out one of downstairs rads by trying to free his little scooter that got stuck under and caused a huge flood. The hot water tank got completely emptied out as a result. I have since repaired the rad and the tank seems to have refilled itself as expected because I get...

Hi all, Apologies, another Nest example but I've not seen one for this boiler. We have a 13 year old powermax 185 (Yes, I know) that I'd like to control using Nest and Amazon Echo. I'm yet to purchase the Nest system but wanted to check my thoughts on the wiring before I go ahead. I've...

Pretty urgent as there’s no heating and hot water! I have an open vented Powermax 155x boiler. It’s under a Potterton maintenance contract and has stopped working. The Potterton engineer say that it’s unrepairable because the pump needs replacing and the drain at the bottom of the boiler is...
