Hi folks, I have a Baxi WM 40/4 PF boiler that has served me well for many years (I think it was installed in 1989)
Anyway, it has recently developed a fault where a small amount of water is collecting in one of the APS nozzles.
As highlighted in the attached image, it is the nozzle connected to the red tube.
I had an engineer out before Christmas and he identified the water in the nozzle, cleared it, trimmed down the tube (the end had become brittle)
re-attached it and the boiler fired up as normal. It worked for a few weeks but stopped the other day. The APS is accessible from the bottom of the boiler so I pulled the red tube off and found there was water in the nozzle again. I cleared it with a small cotton bud and re-attached the tube and the boiler is firing up as normal. There is obviously an underlying problem causing the water/condensation to build up though, does anyone have any ideas?
