Hi,
I am considering descaling my Boilermate II myself. I have already had this descaled once about 2 years ago and at that point also fitted a water softner and after this things are ok, but my gas bills are massive and the green neon stays on all the time and the boiler firing unless i turn the boilermate thermostat down to about halfway, since then the bills are still massive and the hot water although better not great, but recently the water hasn't been hot for two long before it starts cooling down. The heating i'd say is not perfect either as one minute the the house is cold and the next it's sweating in there. and i have changed the thermostat in the hall to a digital one. But anyway i'm hoping another descale might improve the heating of hot water and more of it ? The boilermate is attached to a suprima boiler and this is set to run at Max as i have been told this before from others.
So two questions...
1, can anyone shed any light on my plight ?
2, if i go ahead with descale, where on boilermate II do i connect the descaler ? what chemicals are best and how much to use ? and what about an inhibitor ? what and how do i get any inhibitor into and around the system ?
Thanks
