what do you want to know?
They are excellent BTW. The Atmos version is even better IMHO.

As probably know ? Dutch , ally heat exchanger with 22mm pipes cast into the ally so the system water never comes into contact with the ally !
Only 1 recorded ( afaik )incident of a heat exc failure ? no plate exchanger or divertor valve ! = less moving parts than other combi's which may equate to better reliability ???????????
Atmos version can use a chimney liner flue system , Intergas does not or did not ????????
Atmos version can use twin 50mm plastic flue set up if required . Atmos version has no LWP switch ( I think ?) both versions ( combis ) can be used on an open system !
Intergas use service agents for in-warranty repairs eg not directly employed labour , there is a very good one that posts in the CC !
Atmos I beleive use what they refer to as a 'service partner' set up for in warranty work ???

1 recorded failure? I thought there were 0 recorded? Still - better than ANY other manufacturer.
50mm flue option is very limited. But there are more flue options than you can shake a stick at, and some are not in the book. 80mm twin flue is the most versatile (64m combined length).
Tony- they are no more prone to hard water than any other and very easy to descale. The boiler might be £100 or so more than a Vaillant or WB, but then they have a fraction of the maintenance and service cost.
They will be even easier come the new year.
You heard it here first
Atmos is indeed done through known RGI's and parts are next day direct, or stocked with the partner (I have all the Inter parts + a complete boiler).
Other than that the others have covered it.

my honest view is intergas is a very good boiler. no real faults to speak of... but no boiler is perfect. we do get the odd fault bit here than there. but as service agent for intergas I can count the parts I have changed on my hands out of the hundreds that are now fitted around my area.
as a business we fit nothing else now...
intergas have had no heat exchangers fail, they have had one with a bad connection on to the heat exchanger but not the heat exchanger it self.
they have an ad saying something like '1.2million heat exchangers zero failures' or something like that.
btw the in my view the intergas is better than the older, less efficient atmos one, also the newer one have larger drain pathways to prevent blocks from forming... also its smaller

The DHW within the boiler is raised to about 85 C when its providing CH and at that temperature is likely to deposit lime scale.
The official answer is that the tube insides are smooth and any scale deposited will break off and be washed out.
However, I have seen both Worcester and Vokera four pipe boilers where the DHW flow was very minimal as a result of lime scale deposition.
Have a dripping hot tap and the pipe is blocked within weeks.

You've obviously not de-scaled one then Tony. A doddle. Couple of bottles of Kilrock and you're done.
To boost green credentials you won't be throwing PHE's away every few years.

They're great wee boiler Rich. We looked at them a couple of years ago for a large Housing Association, who thought they were too good to be true. So we sourced a supplier in Holland & are buying them 30% cheaper than the UK importers can sell them for. To date we have had no call-backs or faults on any of their appliances.
In the 30 0v manuel it says the auto bypass valve has to be 20ft away from the boiler,if the boiler and cylinder,valves and pump are next to each other how do you do this? Do you need an external single channel programmer as well as the programmer on the boiler to do the hot water.
