Hello all,
I found a wet floor under my Powermax 150HE yesterday. Having taken the covers off, it appears that water is dripping from the condensate collector that sits underneath the heat exchanger/flue. The dripping only starts once the boiler has been firing for a minute or so.
I have taken off the large condensate trap at the front of the unit (seems OK), and used some plastic washing line to try and check for blockages further up the line (nothing else seems to go round the right angle bend), but to no avail. It looks as if the heat exchanger has to be removed to access the collector vessel which a) is beyond my capabilities, and b) strikes me as expensive.
Does anybody have any other ideas for trying to dislodge the (suspected) blockage, and any suggestions as to how it might have arisen? The unit was new 2.5 years ago.
Thanks,
Chris
