New Intergas HReco 36

[blakie8]

Hi Chaps

I posted yesterday asking about the Intergas HRE 36/30 vs Atag A325EC or a Vaillant Ecotec 837 lol
List could go on... anyway Atag was recommended due to its efficiency, but then I stumble across the New Intergas HREco 36, same water delivery 15lm, Intergas tell me its extremely efficient, anyone fitted one yet?

More importantly whats the How Water performance like, Intergas told me that you should use a non magnetic limescale reducer, Combimate got the nod from them if you can't be bothered to keep topping up with salt in a softener. I've done the water softener in my last house and I struggled to keep on top of topping up with salt tabs so do you guys think the Combimate with Siliphos replaced every year would work fine aswell?

First hand experience of both intergas (intergash) and atag (atcrap) is that they're both small independent importers and re badgers and aren't much cop....but then I'm a staunch Vaillant man.

I have a 100% fail rate of both those boilers having faults out of the box!

To be fair your last intergas only had a stuck pump from storage. Hardly a failure.


God knows what you did to the f first one

OP... combimates are fine.

Been looking in manual for intergas HE but I'm confused, How does intergas boiler work without divider valve or plate heatexchanger?
It saying the DHW heat exchanger is inside chamber that got heat exchanger for heating, if the heating is on and the burner is on, would it overheat DHW exchanger if HW is not running? Or am I wrong?

When you turn a tap on, the heating pump stops spinning.

This is what I was referring to in the other post about proper heating control set up. Without weather compensation and left as it comes form the factory, the hot water can come out in a very hot slug in the winter.

No sensible Intergas installer would leave it like that though - especially in your area.


No worries about the call - 22nd still has the last appointment of the day free now.

Edit - double post

So, it's a bit like a water heater, but with a extra exchanger and a pump for heating. Would it be like a DHW exchanger inside heating exchanger, so when DHW is on, burner come on heating DHW via heating exchanger without the pump running, that's what I think how it work.

Pretty much.

There's a good couple of videos on my you tube channel.
