    I'm a different type of engineer but own one of these. Brilliant description of how it works. You kept is simple, to the point, and explained the operation. Not sure about o-rings being rotated many times as they seat though.

    It's a great vid. The cartridge isn't suited for the boiler that have a bypass. I'm afraid you would need to fit the complete diverter valve.

    Where setting is set. You can set it. Also manufacturers can change default. My baxi was on central heating default value where it always returns. You can have 3 values. Dhw, HC or Last requested - aka do not go back,stay where you are

    it would appear my diverter valve is whining when on heat and you can hear it slowly close as it switched to DHW, i can replace the whole assembly it seems but could not find the cartridge itself. Do you know where i could just get the cartridge for a Laars Mascot HT 330? looks identical to the valves in this video

    I have a horrendous whistle from my boiler and it seems if I flex the diverter valve head the whistle stops. It got so bad I wedged a bit of wood in there but then the whistling started again…always seemed to be within the first few minutes of the heating coming on. Replaced the head but hasn’t solved the issue. Could this be cartridge related? Or something completely different.

    Its a common fault on these boilers, including the Potterton sister boilers. The rubber o rings on the cartridge break down and cause the assembly to leak. I had 5 changed on my original Potteton Gold 33 between 2015 and 2018. They even exchanged the boiler for free after changing the cartridge 3 times, the valve once, and the whole manifold once. The new boiler, installed in 2018 had a new diverter cartridge fitted in 2019 under warranty. It's failing again now even with a Magnaclean filter inline, regular servicing and a system flush before both installs. I cannot fault Baxi customer service, but would I buy one of their boilers in the future? No chance.

    This diverter has been replaced 4 maybe 5 times in 7 years on my baxi duotech 24 he, any idea why this fails so often, also recently noticed hot water temp gauge goes over 60 when its set to 50, it also exceeds 65 which is supposed to be the max, do you think there is a fault with something or is this just normal for baxis

If this doesn't work, I would advise quickly procuring a paddle, you'll need it where you're going.
