Informative clip. Stay humble bro and the heavens will always smile with you. 👊🏽

[@martinsalmons5407]

Thanks for another great video. Good tip about depressing the cartridge to stop the pressure. Never thought of that, Ive always loosened the pipe underneath. 👍

[@cputilitysolutions]

Nice one mate, yup we're always leaning from one another 👌🏽

[@gasnewbie1941]

Great spot with that missing o ring. Keep the videos coming and the good work. 👍

[@cputilitysolutions]

Gotta have your eyes fully open!

[@Vincent-dc6ku]

Brilliant work, Our Baxi 830 is leaking a small amount of water from the divertor valve just below the motor. I'll now be able to confidently explain to someone that all is required is a cartridge swap out. Thank you.

Can you leave a link to where you got your diverter cartridge removal tool from ,have always used 35mm socket but it doesn’t always fit snug , that looks really positive ,nice find 👍

[@cputilitysolutions]

Hi mate, if you search for diverter valve removal tool on eBay you'll find a few different sellers doing it on there 👍🏽

[@frankiepc8119]

@@cputilitysolutions thanks for your prompt reply I have found one for £14.99 on eBay and placed my order . That’s going to be one tool that’s going to get some use without knocking the skin off my knuckles . Thanks for showing it in use 😀

[@cputilitysolutions]

@@frankiepc8119 that's the one mate, couple it with a 13mm socket and you're sorted. Also for flow turbine cartridges I use a 18mm hex socket (not the multi-tooth one because it slips)

[@ScottBradley-t8z]

does a baxi 310fi have a diverter CARTRIDGE ? not the whole assembly which i know is there but an actual cartidge that can be replaced ? thanks

[@cputilitysolutions]

I'm not sure on that boiler mate

[@dazl7954]

nice little repair that :)

[@greatamigo1743]

Hi
Can we open the diverter valve cartridge y gripper rather then the special tool(opener)???

[@cputilitysolutions]

Yes you can just use grips too 👍🏾

[@MrReza21azer]

Excellent work mate 👍 do you have a link for your torch please?

[@cputilitysolutions]

Thanks, it's a Unilite SLR1000

[@deeshephard1120]

Hello mate whats the sequence to put those boilers into Service mode please?

[@tomekwrobelek9233]

Thanks for the video, can I ask you what kind of toolbox you have looks like a rock sack?
Thank you

What temp test equipment and app on the boiler heating flow pipe are you using looks cool👍

[@cputilitysolutions]

I'm using the Testo 115i temperature clamps and the Testo app on my phone 👍🏽

[@chrisfrancis535]

What model is your torch mate?

[@cputilitysolutions]

That's the SLR-1000 mate. Anything you buy from Unilite, use discount code UNCLE for 25% off 👊🏾

[@chrisfrancis535]

Nice one mate. Would that work on Amazon?

[@cputilitysolutions]

@@chrisfrancis535 no only directly on Unilite's website 👍🏾

[@deano-qj9tj]

what you using to clip your unilite on the side of your bag mate?

[@cputilitysolutions]

It just clips onto the D ring where the shoulder straps go onto mate

[@adamek9750]

what does the 5F flashing up mean? My boiler did this and the British gas engineer replaced what looked like the diverter motor within like 3 mins and went on his way. The problem with the boiler was the heating would turn on itself (no one using the water or central heating).

[@adamek9750]

This happened when the switch was in the tap water heating function only. Not both central heating and tap

[@cputilitysolutions]

SF is service mode to test your high and low rates

Don't like BG do ya mate? we're not all the same....

[@cputilitysolutions]

I know mate, I got a few friends that work for BG and I know you're not all bad guys, but it's like anything, do a good job and you'll get recommended to 1 person, do a bad job and you'll get slated to 10

[@edoz3279]

Excellent work as always🏅
Bro quick question though
At the end you said the flow pipe is 49 degrees and your only getting 51 52 at the taps
Wouldnt we be looking for more like 60 at the taps and flow staying at 49 to confirm its not passing anymore
Or was it just that the flow pipe temp was already high due to the previous test and hot water temp is set at 50 something?

Thanks mate, it's a Unilite SLR1000. The removal tool is off eBay. Just search for diverter cartridge removal tool 👍🏽
