Hi - this may be a stupid question but are heat exchangers within boilers only used on the central heating side or also hot water?
I have a Worcester Bosch boiler and has a water softner fitted 3 months ago. At my service I was advised that using water softners isn't allowed by Worcester Bosch because the aluminium will rot the heat exchangers - whether it does or not it invalidates the warranty!
If the heat exchangers are only used on the central heating side then I will put in a t-junction to get hard water to top us the system.
If they are used on both, I will rip it out and hit the installer over the head with it !
Thanks, Nick
