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. A similar, but slightly less common problem is the other way round with hot water working but no central heating.

NTC Thermistor – This is the proper name of the temperature sensors. Sometimes this component can go wrong but sometimes the problem can be with the printed circuit board (PCB) that isn’t receiving messages from this sensor properly.This is an issue that can occur with all boilers and Potterton’s are no exception. When you switch on your central heating, it will push hot water around your central heating system and eventually, that water will return slightly cooler to the return pipe.

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. If this is the decision you take, be sure to get a quote from Heatable. Heatable is an online installation firm that offers some of the best prices on a wide range of high-quality boilers from Potterton and all other major boiler manufacturers. The only way to fix a leak is to find where it is and close it up. This is sometimes a minor job that you can do yourself by tightening a joint or using a DIY sealant. If the issue is with a soldered joint, it is usually a relatively minor issue to fix it. On your Potterton boiler, this is most likely to be indicated by error code E125 or E193 showing up on your display. An issue with the central heating pump – the pump is struggling to push water around the system. This could be caused by a problem with the settings or even a blown seal.As we noted before, if you have an older boiler, you might reach the conclusion that your money is better spent on a brand new boiler rather than patching up an old one. #5 – No Hot Water / No Central Heating Potterton offers a selection of optional boiler controls and accessories to help make your heating system as energy efficient as possible. Not only that but Potteron’s boiler controls can improve indoor comfort levels and help to reduce the cost of your heating bills, provided you choose correctly. There are several different controls that you can use with your Potterton heating and hot water system, so it’s a good idea to take a look at all the options available to you before making any decisions. 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. 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 Potterton boilers are generally very good, but all boilers can develop issues, especially as they get older, and Potterton is no exception to this.

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. Regardless of which of the causes is the issue, you will need to get a qualified gas engineer out to look at your boiler. If it is a minor issue, such as the wiring, the fix should be relatively simple and affordable. If there is a problem with a major component such as the PCB, this is an altogether bigger and more expensive. If your boiler is fairly old, our of warranty, and has a fault with a major component such as the PCB, it is usually wiser to replace the whole boiler rather than fix one component and then wait for the next one to fail. But if the water in the return pipe continues to be cold, this suggests that there is a problem with the water circulating in your system.If there is a problem with these sensors, they can begin to send messages telling the boiler the water is up to temperature when it isn’t. This causes the boiler to cut off and stop heating the water further. 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
