Potterton EP2 Twin Channel Programmer

Product Information

When mains gas became available, around 1992 I think, we had a professional plumber come in, remove the multi fuel and install a gas boiler and fire. The controls have been the same since then, the loft radiator was removed as were the TRV's on the bathroom and shower room rads, and I think the room stat was removed then. The boiler was moved out to the garage. The hot water tank is in the loft, and the pump is also in the garage. Have you had problems with your Potterton boiler?

The smarter way to replace your boiler

Potterton boilers are generally very good, but all boilers can develop issues, especially as they get older, and Potterton is no exception to this.

If you have an older boiler, you might, therefore, want to consider replacing the whole boiler with an energy-efficient new boiler that could end up saving you money in the long run. # 3 – Cold Return Pipe If this is the decision you take, be sure to get a quote from Heatable.

My goods were not delivered the day confirmed and only delivered the next day after chasing.The staff at My Tub were very polite and curtious. Limescale– If there is a build-up of limescale on the NTC Thermistor, this can affect the sensors ability to measure temperature. If it measures the temperature incorrectly, this means it is likely your boiler will be unable to get hot water up to temperature. If the problem is being caused by a more serious issue with an internal component in the boiler such as the heat exchanger, you will need to get an engineer to take a look and suggest the best course of action # 2 – Boiler Switches Off Before Radiators Are Up To Temperature the worst delivery service I have ever come across it took you six week s then you broke one and then i had to wait another two weeks

I got the item okay - very prompt - and the courier did not seem to need a signature so put it through the letterbox as I had asked. Thank you. This is a problem that you will need an engineer to help you fix. If the problem is being caused by limescale, the engineer will be able to clean things up using specialist chemicals. He will probably do this by carrying out a hot flush. A similar, but slightly less common problem is the other way round with hot water working but no central heating.Where the problem is a major one, you might end up deciding to buy a whole new boiler. If you do, we have recommended Heatable as the place to look for the best priced new boilers around. Wiring issues – if your boilers wiring has come loose or got damaged, this can affect the signal reached the printed circuit board (PCB). I have the above controller. It cannot have the heating and water set to come on at different times so I want to change it out. My system originally had a multi fuel coal boiler, as we did not have mains gas in the village. We had a radiator in the loft that remained on all the time then, I think all the other rads had TRV's, and from memory I think we had a room stat in the hall but cannot remember. If the NTC thermistor itself is damaged, the engineer should be able to replace it. This component is not terribly expensive.
