Any idea why the condensate trap on a one year old ideal boiler would have so much sediment in it as seen in the picture? On other one year old boilers of the same model on this estate the condensate trap is clear. In the one in the picture there is also sediment in the black pipe that connects to the top of the trap.

Did you ask of any frequent venting of rads? Any leaks on system? As you haven’t mentioned which system/boiler lid on tank ok? As Scott suggests dust entered system somehow?

I’ve come across two like this an it related to constant pressure loss on sealed system. Haven’t heard back since replacing heat exchanger, all the basics was ruled out in previous visits exp vessel, prv etc. The first one I had boiler had been off for couple days, removed sump cover an pressurised the system to 2 bar you could literally see it pooling water at the bottom of the sump. May not be your issue but the 2 I have come across with dark sediment in the trap seemed to be internal leak on heat exchanger
*edit*
Just thought I’d mention I had no idea if they was a year old
