FAQs

Is this kit compatible with all Potterton boilers?

No, this kit is specifically designed for Potterton Performa 24, 28, and 30 Eco He models, equivalent to part numbers 248061 and 248062. Always verify your boiler model and part number.

Do I need to be a professional to install this kit?

Installation requires mechanical knowledge and familiarity with boiler systems. If you are not experienced with boiler repairs, it is strongly recommended to hire a qualified heating engineer.

What is the main benefit of using this repair kit?

The primary benefit is cost savings. Repairing the existing diverter valve with this kit is typically much cheaper than replacing the entire unit or calling for extensive boiler service.

Does the kit come with installation instructions?

This kit typically does not include detailed installation instructions. Users should refer to their boiler's service manual or consult a professional for guidance.

How long should the repaired diverter valve last?

The lifespan depends on the overall condition of the boiler and the quality of the installation. With proper installation, the repaired valve should function reliably for a significant period, comparable to a new unit.

What if I have missing or damaged parts in the kit?

Contact the retailer or manufacturer from whom you purchased the kit to report the issue. They should be able to arrange for replacement parts.

Can I use parts from this kit for other boiler brands?

No, this kit is specifically manufactured to be compatible with the listed Potterton boiler models. Using it with other brands is not recommended and may cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Boiler still leaking after repair

Ensure all seals and O-rings are correctly seated and that the valve body itself is not cracked or damaged. Overtightening components can also cause issues; ensure parts are snug but not forced.

No hot water or heating after repair

Check that the diverter valve has been reassembled correctly and is functioning. Ensure no air locks are present in the system after refilling. Verify power supply to the boiler.

Difficulty disassembling or reassembling the valve

Consult a specific service manual for your Potterton boiler model. Components can become seized over time; use appropriate tools and gentle force. If unsure, seek professional assistance.

Kit components do not seem to fit

Double-check that you have the correct kit for your specific boiler model and that you are using the correct part from the kit for its intended location. Verify the part numbers match your boiler's original components.

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Isolate the boiler from the main power supply and shut off the water supply.
  2. Drain Down: Drain the relevant section of the heating system to prevent water spillage.

  4. Disassemble: Follow a reliable guide or service manual to carefully disassemble the diverter valve. Note the position of each component.
  5. Replace Parts: Systematically replace each old component with the corresponding new part from the kit. Pay close attention to the orientation of seals and springs.
