Hi all,
I inherited a Housewarmer 45 Electronic back boiler with Economy 2 gas fire in my house. Last year I flushed out the central heating system, by connecting a mains hose to points around the system, and a circulation pump directly to the boiler. I was convinced I got most of the 'stuff' out, and refilled it with inhibitor.
This didn't cure the popping and banging although it quietened it quite a bit. I assume there is calcium build up inside the boiler.
As it is still running, so no particular problem, I'm sure it isn't that efficient. I have been advised to hang onto it as long as possible, because the modern ones are expensive and will take a long time to equal the cost of fitting a new one against the gas use.
So what do I do?
Cheers, Camerart.
