You said 8.5 ohms by mistake instead of 18.5 the first time you said it - Great video 🫡

Nice proper instructor

[@DavidKneale]

I Want to know how to change the Megaflo floating baffle. Exactly! You can't! I've seen so many disintegrate with no explanation from the manufacturer.

[@mrbaza8793]

Brilliant 🔧👍🏾

[@David-bl1bt]

My new build house has a condensate pump fitted to the safety discharge pipe, is this permitted? There is no mention of this scenario in either the manufacturers instructions or G3 specs.

[@simonmander4314]

I assume that the black washer sits behind the element flange?

[@howardbeer5214]

You forgot to say that you need to turn of the water supply to the cylinder before you drain it ????

[@ewelinagergont5740]

Can you please explain how I switch it off (leaving home for 2 weeks)? I searched whole internet... Not a word...

[@njwareing6408]

Do all mega flo's drain down the same way, do you not have to get air in the tank for the water to flow on an unvented tank?

[@BaxiBoilersUK]

Yes you do, it can be done by opening a hot water tap that is above the level of the top of the cylinder or/and open the T&P Valve this will help with draining the cylinder.

[@chriswright9819]

Don't agree with this Better to test for the system being powered first and switch off and see the power die away then you know the tester is working and the power has gone after switching it off

[@jackhall6812]

Checking with a two pole indicator and proving unit is the safest way. If you have a reverse polarity on the line and neutral conductors you'll get a shock from the neutral and would have just assumed it was safe to work on..
