What do YOU think will happen if you attempt to remove a water flow switch without isolating and draining the boiler first.

No need to drain just put a cagoule on

:welcome: to the forum morgi27 ... I'm guessing a 105 or the like but what model baxi you got? ... By flow switch do you mean heating or hot water? And lastly how confident are you around water and electrics? Not wanting to scare you or anything Some repairs a relatively good DIYer can get a way with ... How do you rate yourself?
