Do you have fluctuating hot water temperature? Does the shower run luke warm then hot, luke warm, then hot again?

If so, then I can probably explain why...

Take note, or this is really going to hurt your wallet or purse in a year or two......


You may also want to see this: ‘Dirty/blocked system’

These pipes show what’s commonly found inside your heating system and radiators..

You can

POWERFLUSH

til the cows come home,

it ain’t goina shift this...


And it never does.....


Once the boilers been installed,

residual particles get loose, and

get pumped into your nice new

boiler.


They then collect in the narrowest parts of the boiler (hot water plate heat exchanger) and stop circulation.

We’ve replaced 3 boilers this year, less than 4yrs old, that were powerflushed, dosed with inhibitor, and commissioned in accordance with the manufacturers instructions..... VERY EXPENSIVE!

All three were completely wrecked by this problem.


Because? they didn’t have filter protection fitted. This month (Aug 2010) I’ve had to change 5 plates because they were blocked beyond any point of return. These things cost between £97.00 to £150.00 to buy.


In two cases, the whole main heat exchangers were completely trashed. Once again, powerflushed and treated on installation. Complete waste of time!


And these parts ARE NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY

This problem drove me nuts on Vaillant, and it still does, because it’s so unnecessary!


Everyone blames the boiler, and it’s giving Vaillant a really bad name. The fact is, it’s not a boiler problem, it’s a boiler problem caused by poor advice from installers, and a willingness to pay peanuts by customers.


Powerflushing has it’s uses, don’t get me wrong, but it’s very limited to the actual longevity of the boiler and system. In my opinion probably only 10% of new boilers require a full powerflush, but ALL NEW BOILERS require filter protection, and inhibitor, especially high efficiency condensing appliances.


If you don’t believe me, you’re more than welcome to accompany me for a week, and explain to people why their boiler’s costing them hundreds to fix, when it’s only a few years old.

It’s like ‘groundhog day’ 7 days a week! complete madness......


So instead of spending £500 on a powerflush, spend £100.00 on a system filter.


Now, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Three companies have addressed this problem extremely effectively.
