right guys i want no wise cracks plz
i have a problem concerning my combi boiler wait for it "ideal logic +30" so i know what your going to say lol
i had it installed march 2011 up untill now i have had no problems what so ever been great an very efficient
3 bed terrace 1 bathroom
the problem is the last 2-3 months i have noticed that i have to turn down my bath tap half way or less just to get my desired heat (takes for ever now)compared to the 1st year an a half with the tap open full was great an boiler set 55 deg even throught last winter which the weather now is a bit warmer here in n.i than last year .
my water pressure is no more or less than first installed
got all my plumbing an taps checked before ringing ideal so i wasn't wasting anyones time an plumber said the mains pressure was spot on
which i never even asked what it was at , he used guage
so ideal sent an engineer out there today he changed a turbine i think its called with new filter an seal which to no avail still same prob so he recommended installing a prv an set it to 1.5bar as i have to much mains pressure going throught the boiler but he never tested the mains pressure
i tried explaining to the engineer that i had no problems before with hot water an flow till the last 2-3 months so how does he justify drop the pressure even more to me thats trying to hide my problem
when i explained to ideal on the phone my situation they said either heat exhanger needing flushed or replaced they will organise engineer to check ,flush or replace under warranty
so what do i do put a prv on an set it to 1.5 an suffer **** hot water flow or ring ideal an give off or do i try an flush the heat exchanger myself mind i aint gas safe reg'd
thanx in advance
