POTTERTON Thermistor 10/18761 is a crucial component located around the flow switch section of the heating system. The flow switch acts as a safety mechanism, featuring an in-built sensor that monitors the flow of water in both the central heating and domestic hot water (DHW) systems. When the pump is activated, the flow switch senses this movement and communicates with the printed circuit board (PCB) to allow the ignition sequence to proceed. Its primary purpose is to prevent the burner from igniting when the system is low on water or dry, ensuring safe operation.
- Safety Mechanism: Ensures that the burner cannot operate unless adequate water flow is detected, protecting the system from potential damage.
- Key Component for Heating Systems: Integral to the proper functioning of the flow switch, allowing for safe and efficient operation of central heating and DHW systems.
- Professional Installation Recommended: For safety and optimal functionality, it is advised that this thermistor be installed by a fully qualified, Gas Safe certified plumber.
- Quality Assurance: Manufactured to meet Potterton’s high standards, ensuring reliability and compatibility with Potterton heating systems.
