Gas Safe boiler failure

[Aquaheat]

Funny how that Gas safe Engineer didn't even blink when he got a reading of 0 ppm, especially when the CO alarm had gone off as well, and the appliance had been sealed off, whilst I can tell you if you get a reading of 0ppm, then that would have aroused some suspicions, clearly means something is wrong with the guys analyser, there is no way on this earth that you would get a real low reading of 0 ppm on an old boiler.

You obviously aren't in the gas industry and know f00k all. 0ppm is a regular occurrence and how complete combustion of gas should be.

A new boiler can be different as they are set to different criteria and there is a permissible CO level allowed as per MI's.

I also disagree that any minor dust can cause such a high reading in 10 days

Minor dust wasn't mentioned. A blocked primary air filter was though would that change the CO reading?

Just out of interest, what did this first RGI stand to gain by lying about the ppm and turning the boiler back on thus only charging an hour and missing out on the opportunity of upselling spares that aren't needed and possibly a new boiler!? No RGI would ever leave an appliance in a dangerous state.

Maybe, just maybe, the second RGI felt his nose had been pushed out of joint and blocked the filter himself to get a high reading and upsell to the client?

Original RGI comes back and cleans the mess and appliance is still safe again.

Try reading between the lines. We do this daily and have seen pretty much everything between us.

@Mikefromlondon Please if you have nothing useful to contribute then please don't as you are just making yourself look a bit of a d1ck. Oh and thanks for the life story it really added to the thread. Cheers for that.

with a brand new boiler and even that gave a reading of 29ppm of CO.
unless you are mixing Ambient CO reading that was 0 ppm.

Que?

Hey Dan , maybe Mike is refering to a flue integrity test to which he is obviously confused.

Doubt he knows what that is. He just means purging in fresh air. @Mikefromlondon is now googling flue integrity test!!

Everything is made from Energy, by Energy, with Energy and for Energy.

What makes the energy?

My mind has literally just been blown!! That's sooooo deep man

Hey Mike do you mind if I pick your brains? Got a boiler with 29ppm CO along with 9% CO2 in flue gas , I need to know ratio?

TIA

Please sir I know!!

What is it with these posters trying to be something they're clearly not? , do they get a kick out of it? It's not as if we know who they are so why bother?

Be a long time coming waiting for Mike to answer.

He can google what he likes , it's the way in which they post it is what trips them up .

It's like shooting fish in a barrel @steelmasons It kills my time seeing as I'm up looking after a sick child. My original grief was with the OP who is being a bit of a c0ck end.

less than 0.0003 how about that?

I'll just say it's a pass then

.00032 to be anal , so a little higher wouldn't you agree.
100 lines and 1 hours detention.

Well done.

exactly and that kind of minuscule error could have just cost your tenants their lives. Run along Mike you tried and your effort is greatly appreciated.

No I didn't need to google that, coincidentally it was the reading stated on a print out my Gas safe engineer gave me today, it states 45.3c flue gas temp, 8.47% CO2, (that is near enough 9) so the ratio quoted was 0.0003, so try me next time I could then google!
Oh do you also want a 02 reading, that was 6.1%, which means there was still some oxygen left in the product of combustion, so it did not burn properly despite being 6% oxygen and it still produced 29ppm of CO
