Intergas hot water issue.

[SilentDancer]

This was the same issue with the Worcesters and Ferrolis with the Bithermic Heat Exchanger, they used to scale up. Very difficult to control the temp in the hex tubes when you have no control over the water flow, so localised overheating occurs and then scale.

I'm quite surprised there's installers on here peddling the backwards Intergas design with its bargain bin components.

Localised overheating could occur in the Worcesters and Ferrolis because of their heat exchanger design.

But that would not happen on an Intergas because their heat exchanger is such a large block of aluminium cast around the heating and hot water transfer pipes.
