flu

[jayne333]

hiya ive just noticed this morning when i were running the hot water tap in the kitchen, that there was steam coming from the flu of our boiler when i turned tap off it stopp ed any ideas as to what causing it its a glowworm compact 80 combi

I've noticed that as well.

In addition, I am worried about what I can only describe as a 'flame' inside the boiler when it switches on.

Should I be concerned?

are u taking the mickey? its only its never done it before

 

[corgiman]

Cold day and the flue produced water vapour

being a combi it fires up when you turn a hot tap on

nowt to worry about

 

[jayne333]

thankyou corgiman i were just a bit worried because it doesnt do it when the heating is on only when running hot tap

 

[corgiman]

mmm it should do

maybe the heating is not coming on full blast

might be an idea to have it service by a CORGI just to make sure its working within accepted parameters, still dont think its owt to worry about thou

 

[jayne333]

i had it serviced a few weeks ago and ive rung bg up they coming in morning to have a look

 

[corgiman]

The boiler might be range rated, I'm not a glowworm man. Quite likely the burner never goes on full for central heating, but for hot water it does, so there is a difference in the amount of products of combustion.

had a full check on system and flu about 2 weeks ago because i joined that bg homecare but its first time i seen it do that irang bg up this morn they coming out tom and they said could be cold weather

When talking about a boiler its a "flue".

When you are coughing and have a temperature then its "flu".

""and flu about 2 weeks ago because I joined that bg homecare"". They are meant to fix your boiler and not to give you flu !
