A question for Mike or anyone that may know relating to my previous long email. I am told by British Gas that they will not powerflush a boilermate 3 central healting system. On your website it states that you can do this. Are BG referring only to their POwerflushTM or all flushing???

I have a boilermate 3 upstairs and potterton suprima 70 boiler downstairs. The hot water is fine and I have no problems. I do have problems with the radiators particularly downstairs; these are cold. The one next to the potterton may be hot or warm. I have had British Gas out 4 times so far all giving different reasons for the problem. BG engineer 1: Said valve ...

Drained the system from a tap above the boiler. Water draining was rather slow but eventually stopped. Just had the plumber fit a new heat exchanger/boiler to the boiler but now there is no water flow into the boiler. There is plenty of water in the small header tank on top of the boiler mate III.

All I want to know is if it is essential to have the downstairs hallway radiator on 24/7 (ie, when the boiler fires up, it will always be hot - even in the summer!) Initially we were told we could turn the bathroom radiator on instead and did this for a while, however when I had the next annual inspection, I was told no, it had to ...

Read on your forum that it could be the hot water sensor, the store temperature sensor or the plate heat exchanger, but when running, the exchanger and pipe work to the pump is red hot then goes cool but the top of the exchanger is still very hot. If it's the heat exchanger how easy is it to change? can you help thanks very much good web site paul ...

For a while the central heating hasn't been switching off until you switch it off via the timer on the tank or switching off the tank itself. This is still pretty much the same but last week the hot taps started to run cold. Not sure if the hot water pump is turning but it has 240v at the pump terminals and isn't overly hot. System pump is working but 2 port valve sticking sometimes I think because of the central heating not switching ...

The noise can best be described as a loud tapping / hammering sound. Difficult to pinpoint the exact location - it could be coming from the boiler (a Potterton Suprima 40) but more likely from the Boilermate unit. The noise only occurs when the boiler flame is on. Occasionally, the same noise occurs when the central heating has been on for a long time, but never as loud. ...

We have a Potterton Suprima 40 boiler with Boilermate III thermal storage in our property. The boiler was locking out several times a day which was pinned down to a faulty PCB and was replaced yesterday. Boiler fires fine now and we're getting scalding hot water but the central heating wont turn ON (thermostat set at 24 C). Grateful if you could shed some light on the problem & happy to provide more info if needed.

Thanks

I'm not sure where exactly my Diverter Valve is though...? i've looked in my user manual and theres no indication of such valve...? Is it also known as a 3 port valve by any chance? Any help will be much appreciated...

The number 1 green thermal store temp light is flashing and lights 11 and 12 (orange /red) are also flashing with one red light flashing on the board below. The boiler is not getting fired up either. Can anyone advise me as to what the fault is and what the remedy is. Also if there is a temporary solution to enable hot water and heating until the system can be properly fixed. Many thanks, a very cold Louisa!

I have a Boilermate III (with LED display only - no digital as per manual), connected to a Potterton Suprima 30. A bizarre combination for a 2 bed house and hugely expensive to run. The Potterton has started cutting out before the Boilermate receives a full tank of hot water (usually about 6 green LEDs illuminated). It then will not re-ignite for at least 20 minutes, despite repeated attempts to manually reset it. When it does work, the water coming out of the taps is if anything ...
