Hmmmm.. I just invested £115 in the "LINNEPE 3-IN-1 GAS ALARM (RPR-C6903)". Have I wasted my money?
BTW does anyone know whether this is a passive device? For obvious reasons, I don't want to have to switch it on and off all the time, and I am thinking about the drain on my battery.

are you sure its a CO alarm and not a smoke alarm ruth,
sounds too cheap for a CO type.
B+Q have them at the mo for £15-ish
i have a combined smoke/CO......cost £35 from B+Q a couple of years back.

i thought so too, I paid £15 for mine last year on a special offer from lloyds, but i double checked and it was a carbon monoxide alarm, but it is the size of a credit card.
I think they have a web site so take a look, nowt to lose

its NOT an alarm ruth, its an indicator........
plastic card with a spot in the middle....if theres CO it changes to a dark spot.
we tried them and they arent much good.
ours went nearly black in a week near the boiler but neither of the proper alarms triggered.
the dark spot in the middle is supposed to be cream coloured.
i have two alarms cos i dont trust 'em to work 100% of the time.

that explains why they are so cheap, 2 in a pack and a 12 month guarantee.
stick to the one from lloyds me thinks

the one in the pic has a shelf life of 3 years unopened but must be replaced every 6 months when opened.
could work out expensive...

Carbon monoxide Poisoning
It doesnt matter how much they cost as they are a life saver.
They need to have an alarm sounding.
We had a problem with our chimney and on a cold crisp night we left our fire on low and the alarm went off, so it saved our lives.
Ours was bought at Tesco,s for £19.99.
