Powermax 155 - Scaling up ??

[Davebates]

Hi all - new bloke here.

I have a problem with my Powermax 155.

Central heating is fine but the temperature of the hot water is very poor - is there any way I can turn it up ??

I also seem to be suffering with poor hot water pressure - probably due to a build up of limescale (this may explain the temp as well).

Can I fix this myself ?
If not, any steer on a cost to get a professional in ??

Thanks in advance.

I assume that this has never been serviced?

There are several possible causes and I would really recommend getting an engineer who is familiar with this model as they are not generally very popular to work on.

Tony,

No - never serviced.

Any idea how I go about finding a suitable engineer ??

There are two employed potty engineers who look here who are not too far from you.

If you email me from my profile I can give you more details.

There is a blender valve on this boiler which you could try adjusting
If its not this its a good chance its the plate heat exchanger sludged up

Without going into detail, how do you descale these things?

Tony,

Thanks for your help - I have tried emailing but it keeps bouncing back saying undeliverable.

Can I be cheeky and ask you to email me (address on profile).

Thanks mate
