    Boiler leaking water Urgent advice needed?

    I was just researching and I believe what he put on washers was actually LA-CO Slic tite Heavy duty pipe thread compound. Pot looked identical to this. Is this bad in boiler could it have blocked the mini heat exchanger or DW heat exchange?

    System pressure seems fine it's in the green and hasn't changed. I appreciate it's hard to diagnose over net without seeing boiler. They are sending someone back out within 24hrs. But the company they use are awful and most of the time they don't seem to know what they are doing. Took them 8...

    Boiler leaking water Urgent advice needed?

    Could be but we tested everything before he left and heating and hot water were working fine when he left. 10 minutes after he left every thing stopped working.
