Just catching up on Doc Martin on sky q.

His Aunt and anybody else visiting her house gets headaches.

The resident ex plumbers, with co monitor in hand, enter property to check, complete with the cheapest dust masks they could find.

Doesn't exactly add authenticity to the situation.

The serious issue here is CO alert devices, any over say 3 years are useless. Ok press the
test button and that will tell you if the battery is live etc. The grim reality is that
the way these things work is a chemical reaction which makes the unit work...however
the active life of the chemicals is no more than 3 2 4 years so out of date units will test ok
just because the battery is live nothing more than that.. I have alerted my local MP
to this issue but he is busy with other matters. centralheatking

There is no effective way to properly test a CO detector other than to have a CO spray can
I have not seen these on sale alongside the alarms. CO spray is available however centralheatking
