    Best combi boiler for under £1000 supply only

    Well they don't treat the water - the only way really is a polyphosphate or ion exchange setup. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Both need topping up periodically.

    You cold try giving it a squirt of WD40... I have come across these where the O-ring has come adrift and got stuck in the mechanism.

    flue stack

    You really aught to know the answer to this whether or not you install or are a service engineer. In fact, as a service engineer you should be more aware in order to pick up on faulty installations.
