Can anyone tell me first hand experience - how do these boilers fare against the likes of Potterton, Biasi and so on. Am looking for a good combi boiler..? thanks

The word is they're not bad. By the way did you know there's someone impersonating you somewhere on this forum asking about cheap boilers?

WB are good, Vaillant are better, especially in London where the water is hard.

What difference does that make gas? They both use a secondary plate. As for primary side I've always been led to believe soft water to be worse - high acidity or something etc..

Better than Pott or Biasi. Not as good as Atmos, Atag, Viessmann. The most reliable as it has few components is the Amtos Intercombi - over to Dan.

Vaillant offer a 5 year warranty on the plate heat exchanger against scale build up, so no need for external scale inhibitors.

Artificially softened water is bad for radiators and alumimium HE, as you say it will rot them eventually.

Again, I thought they all offer 5 years on the plate (might be 6 years from Alpha).

 

[gas4you]

I stand corrected Don't know how they can offer a 10 year warranty on primary HE if its aluminium though. I thought they would have gone for the better stainless steel.

biasi's m96(Riva compact he) are very good valve for money. They have a good in warrantee reliability record at the moment. it also has a stainless steel second HX

but i does not matter what ever boiler you get, if fitted by a poor installer it will not last or work to it's best
