Hi Mike,
Great site you have here, an invaluable resource for those of us trying hard to understand our Powermax boilers. Ours came with our new build house 12 years ago and is still going strong, the annual service keeping things ticking over.
Couple of things I'd appreciate your input on, or that of other users.
1. We are getting a radiator changed and the chap has asked where the isolating valve is for the mains water input into the boiler. I've looked and can't find it. The installation manual (page 10) references it as follows ...."a full way isolating valve eg gate valve or quarter turn valve, should be fitted in the supply before, but adjacent to the unit". He's suggested it may be in the loft. Any clues?
2. A naive question given my technical lack of know how. How would I actually know whether our Powermax is an "open vent" or a "sealed system" model?
Any input appreciated. Thanks.
