I had a Worcester Bosch 28i Junior plus full C/H sytem installed about 3/4 years ago by a Corgi registered installer who I recall put some sort of treatment in the system (inhibitor, I think was the word he used). The house had not had central heating previously.
A few days ago the hot water started running brown and took ages to clear. The Worcester guy came today and amongst other things replaced the heat exchanger. He said the system was full of sludge - so much so it was the worst he's seen for some time. He had no explanation for the accumulation of sludge in a relatively new system but compared the problem with boliers he'd seen that hadn't been cleaned for 20 years!
I know I could get a Powerflush to resolve the problem but quite honestly if it's going to cost £400 every 3 to 4 years, I would rather deal with the cause than the effect. Anyone got any ideas why there might be so much sludge in such a short time?
