Just a reminder folks that Propex recommend you give your Propex heating a run occasionally during the Summer.

Re: Propex in the summer !
Does that mean the actual heather or just the fan circulation? Tried mine the other week buti it was so hot, the thermostat wouldn't kick the heater in.

The whole system I would think.
"Heather" = Heater I guess, spell check guessing wrong again - don't set fire to the Heather

Same with Webastos and Eberspächers - they need a monthly spin up to keep them in fine fettle.

Re: Propex, Webastos and Eberspächers in the summer !
Sorry if I seem to be hijacking the topic lads, but any advice on how to get an ex bundeswehr Eberspacher ba6 up and running again? The vendor told me that the army disconnected it ( as is practice after 10 years supposedly due to the combustion chamber corrosion). Is there a simple plug and play job or could it be complicated? I know nothing of these systems as does my electrician. Thanks for any advice.
