baxi solo 2 pf 80 - Leaking Water

[namsag]

you may find they have an upper age limit on the boiler of about 8 years not 100% on that though

 

[dwaviation]

15 years apparently! They took my serial No and seemed quite happy to take my money - Engineer out tomorrow

I shall go for the quick fix until the summer and then get some quotes for a new Baxi Solo 30 HE

 

[dwaviation]

All fixed

 

[dwaviation]

Well guess what? One year on and my HE has cracked again

Waiting for a spare to arrive at Baxi

 

[dwaviation]

and here we are five weeks later and my HE has just cracked again This time pouring water over the PCB and kicking out the house electrics as well.... What is going on here?

So, you didn't change the boiler?

Mr. W.

 

[dwaviation]

We're planning to sell within the next 18 months so a new boiler isn't on the radar - but three HE's in year is a little much to take....

 

[Vic Spanner]

I would be looking at contaminated water, Could be pumping over.

 

[dwaviation]

We're going to have the water tested next week and sent to Fernox.

 

[dwaviation]

And here we are again... Cracked HE!

£1995 for a replacement...!

 

[Agile]

You should be able to get a good replacement suoply and fitting for about £1500.

But there is obviously something wrong.

I assume the boiler drives a pump over run? But is the pimp connected to the boiler?

I would have expected anyone replacing the heat exchanger to have checked that ???

dwaviation, check flow and return temperature at the boiler. Ensure it is 11 degrees Centigrade

baxi solo doesn't require pump overrun. same as the he model. viessmann compact also don't require one. if looking at a heat only boiler.

a solo 2 pf does this aint the new he version it 15 yr old

The Viess OV does not have to have pump over run but the facility is built in and in my view best used.

Similarly using pump over run on on a Solo style boiler will extend the life of the fan.
