Radio 2 and saving 30% on your heating bills
I might have gone mad (not my problem) but at about 6.35pm I am sure I heard
a phone caller on the Chris Evans show say that you can save 30% on heating bills by removing the air from a CH system. The caller then advertised his co and gave a web site for his special equipment. My girlfriends 4 year old son was shouting as I unloaded the shopping so I did not catch the web site. Did anyone else hear this? Adam |

The instructions say to fit the device, then leave the filing loop connected, to make up for air removed. Reads like they intend you to leave the tap open, which could seriously over pressurise, don't you think? Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh. |

Trevor Smith wrote It must be a brilliant thing, acording to the testimonials J.P Westall of Hexham fitted it to his OIL FIRED system and his GAS bills went down. Presumably his oil bill went up as a result of the whole house becoming a lot warmer. Did you also note that one of the case studies was about a 'heating engineeer' who had no idea on how to fix his own heating system. The clue to these miraculous improvements are contained in the fitting instructions. Drain system. Re-commission as per the boiler manufactures instructions. Any competent plumber will bleed the radiators during the re-commission. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |

Fitting an air separator would do wonders for both and make sure that there is a plentiful supply of fresh air going through the system to eat away at the steel of those radiators. The scary thing is that these are probably real people with customers. |

I'm sceptical like the next man BUT this guy has a) a website which looks quite well put together b) semi-verifiable references and c) has attempted to talk to the population at large (via Radio 2) about his product. a) and b) could well indicate a complete scam but if he really was a crook with a product which had no value why risk over-egging the pudding by pitching on radio 2? If its really no use, this publicity would backfire on him. How does one go about finding out the details of which patent he holds, and what the patent is for? He genuinely may have come up with something new that the well experienced experts here haven't considered; then again, it could be complete b*&%%*cks. Matt |

Does it work? |

Radio 2 and saving 30% on your heating bills
wrote in message ups.com... Can I be a devils advocate? I'm an ordinary consumer, I don't understand about central heating systems. I'm sceptical like the next man BUT this guy has a) a website which looks quite well put together b) semi-verifiable references and c) has attempted to talk to the population at large (via Radio 2) about his product. a) and b) could well indicate a complete scam but if he really was a crook with a product which had no value why risk over-egging the pudding by pitching on radio 2? If its really no use, this publicity would backfire on him. The website? A good website is no guarantee of anything at all. The reference? I want independent test figures, not some fella put one in and it won the lottery for him as well. Talked on the tranny? So did Jeffery Archer as well. Look at the price of it. He doesn't have to sell many before the scam is found out to cream it off. He genuinely may have come up with something new that the well experienced experts here haven't considered; then again, it could be complete b*&%%*cks. How much is it going to cost to independently test it? Not much. More like ******** - until he comes up with the test figures. I'll give him the 0.5% that he may have something. Until then...avoid!!!!! |
