Hi,
I recently had the water pump in my combi boiler replaced. Once the pump was removed and I saw that there appeared be a layer of rust like crust covering some of the surface I was curious what it was and how it formed.
My current theory is that it had formed a slow leak and and over time it had left a sediment of copper from the pipes. Before the pump broke entirely I had been getting drops in pressure and was wondering if that was the cause.
Does my theory make sense and is this a common issue with a pump after 8 years of use?
