    Baxi Solo 24 HE boiler - heat exchanger broken x3 in a year

    Baxi Solo 24 HE boiler - heat exchanger broken x3 in a year

    Yes Correct. 2 totally independent systems - nothing is connected from one system to the other. Each has its own boiler and pump. Today is the day that Heat team are coming to mend it - it's been a very long week. I highly doubt its anything to do with chemicals as the system has been...

    Baxi Solo 24 HE boiler - heat exchanger broken x3 in a year

    I had both systems powerflushed prior to installation and both times they've had to drain down, each system has been clean without sludge . I know I need magnets at some point added on, but the heat team man said that it was not in need right away as the systems were so clean , so I've...

    Hi I'm not attempting to do any DIY but wanted to get some advice and opinions. I had 2 brand new Baxi solo HE boilers installed in June 2010. one a 24 and an 18. I had 2 old baxi's removed and replaced with 2 new ones - no alteration in anything else. No issues at all until April 2012...
