My mum had a new boiler replaced with hot water cylinder and a few new radiators recently and within about 6-7 weeks of installation the oil pump has failed on the boiler. The plumber blew sludge out of the oil line but has said that water in the bottom of the tank has fed through and rusted the pump which has been replaced now.
My Mum's a bit naffed off about a bill 6 weeks after a new installation and I'm trying to figure out where she stands so I just had a couple of questions.
1) Is that feasible for a brand new pump to fail with water ingress in 6-7 weeks?
2) Would it be standard practice for a new boiler installation to check the tank and line condition for water or sludge before installation?
Any help is appreciated
Cheers.
