Carbon Monoxide Alarms

[Rob Foster]

That sounds a bit overkill, when they are supposed to react to xPPM, not flooded by the stuff?

its a special cowl that comes with it and gets the mixture as near real , dead world as poss.

Fairly sure one that I have installed says something in the MIs about the fact that you could resonably test with a lit stick of incense

How about I use my healing crystals? Any good? 😀

I suppose it would be a belt and braces approach to fit an extra one or two smoke or CO testers

quite right but legislation only requires one, I am now fitting two different ones inneachnof my properties centralheatking

Kinesiology could be used instead of a test kit. Just push to mush and lengthen to strengthen and then the human subject could be used a CO alarm. Any good? 😉

Truth is both smoke and CO detectors have a shelf life - around 10 years and 5 years respectively.
And (very) good practice is to renew the batteries, where fitted, every 12 months.
Next time you buy, make sure you are not buying old stock!
You can get good branded but cheap units on eBay that are 2, 3, 4 years old...
God help Average Joe and his old mum...

 

[Tim Court]

What I meant by the eBay reference is that it is entirely possible that Average Joe could buy a perfectly good brand on eBay at a seemingly great price not realising the thing is 2, 3, 4, years old - which is the reason it is so cheap...
