I have a 20-year old Ideal Minimiser, for which I might get some sympathy , but it hasn't given any major problems.
I checked condensate production shortly after installation, and there was plenty. Now it doesn't seem to be producing much at all. Possibly the h/ex is fouled, mainly on the flue side, but it still plumes quite well. The installation instructions refer to pluming in connection with flue location.
Does anybody know whether non-condensing boilers gave off a plume? I don't remember about houses I've lived in, but the flues came out of the roof so not obvious anyway. No mention in the installation instructions, which as a hoarder I still have! I don't see why not, as there is the same amount of water generated. If they don't, I would like to think it shows mine, even if not as good as new, is still as efficient as a non-condensing boiler.
Any comments appreciated.
