SYSTEM DETAILS

Publication No. 5111813

6.1

Information

1. The Potterton Performa 24i HE Condensing
Combination Boiler is ‘Water Byelaws Scheme - Approved
Products’.
To comply with the Water Byelaws your attention is drawn
to the following installation requirements and notes (IRN).

a) IRN 001 -

See text of entry for installation 
requirements and notes.

b) IRN 116 -

Byelaw 90 and 91.

c) IRN 302 -

Byelaw 14.

2. Reference to the WRc publications, ‘Water fittings and
materials directory’ and ‘Water supply byelaws guide’ give
full details of byelaws and the IRNs.

6.2

Central Heating Circuit

1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped SEALED
SYSTEMS ONLY. 

Treatment of Water Circulating Systems
• All recirculatory water systems will be subject to 
corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is 
applied. This means that the efficiency of the system will
deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within the
system, risking damage to pump and valves, boiler noise
and circulation problems.

• When upgrading existing systems that exhibit evidence
of sludging, it is advisable to clean the system prior to
treatment in order to remove any sludge and reduce the
likelihood of these deposits damaging new components.

• When fitting new systems flux will be evident within  the
system, which can lead to damage of system components.

• All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed out.
The recommended flushing and cleansing agents are
Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300 or X400 and Fernox 
Superfloc Universal Cleanser which should be used
following the flushing agent manufacturer’s instructions.

• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing 
agents/descalers should be suitable for aluminium and
comply to BS7593 requirements. The only system
additives recommended are Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X100
and Fernox-Copal which should be used following the
inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions. 

Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will
invalidate the appliance warranty.

• It is important to check the inhibitor concentration 

after

installation, system modification and at every 
service in accordance with the manufacturer’s 
instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor 
stockists.)

• For information or advice regarding any of the above
contact the Baxi Helpline.

6.3

Bypass

1. The boiler is fitted with an automatic integral bypass.

6.4

System Control

1. The boiler is designed for use in a heating system
that incorporates external controls, i.e. a minimum of a
timer device. 

2. Suitable timer kits are available as optional extras.

3. For optimum operating conditions and maximum
economy the fitting of a programmable room
thermostat is recommended.
