....I've got my combi-boiler (Halstead ACE) protected scale wise by a Liff Combi-Flo (just the boiler).....every couple of months the plate heat exchanger seems to get clogged up (it's not very big on an ACE) by bits of debris....having removed a rad recently it didn't appear to be the water in the CH system that was full of the debris so my attentions turned to the Combi-Flo. Having looked at the device there is a filter on the connection from the mains but no filter on the connection to the boiler......is it possible that the Siliphos crystals are breaking up and clogging up the heat exchanger ? Anyone had similar problems ? Would a Combimate be a better option ?
