Could you take a look at pics and advice

[Richard Logan]

Ime getting a new boiler fitted Worcester bosh, by EON Contractor treason for new boiler its 12 yes old and knackered, as I get DLA and pension credit guaranteed, but my main concern is the state of existing pipework, please have a look @ pics and your advise please Richard

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Looks fine to me not the neatest but it’s old and the marks are flux marks will come off with hot water and a Brillo pad / green sponge pad

 

[PETE 123]

looks like it was put in ok

 

[Harvest Fields]

Not terrible to be fair. As above. Definitely seen worse. Also probably fitted worse.😉😉

It would be nice if if the installer cut back to floor level and repiped it with a new mag filter, shock arrestor, descaler and auto bypass something like this maybe these were done on a tight budget you can't cut corners and expect years of trouble free Heating and hotwater delivery. Regards Kop

 

[SimonG]

If it's on a scheme chances are it will be thrown in, cant expect anything else when the installers getting tuppence ha'penny to put it in.

 

[Scott_D]

Do you know if they are fitting a magnetic filter?

This bungalow belonged to my mum and dad both dead now, i can remember them having at least two boilers the last was an Ideal combi 30 what a pile of crap, i can't wait for the plumber to take it of the wall. I got a big sledgehammer and by the time I finished with it you'll be able to stick it through a letter box. I have purchased 4 diverter valves 3 flo turbo things 1 electric board and a heat exchanger so I think my actions are justified any thoughts on the diverta valve usage the water here is rock hard if thats what was doing them in,

You could fit a water softener but quite costly on top of the new boiler .

Thanks for your input KOP Regarding mag filter/shock arrester/descale after doing a search on well known auction sites etc there's such a range from £30+ to £100+ on the mag filters etc it would really help me if you guys could point me to the right stuff I fancy one of them filters where you can clean out the sludge and a quality descale is a must the new boiler will be running 6 rads and a shower. no pump to shower. pressure has never been a problem, and I never herd about that water hammer problem but if its worth getting one so be it, my real plan of attack is, hopefully the plumber is local ish being a national company EON and to see if Hesse in a decent mood make him a cupper and ask him while herself ripping out the existing pipe work give me the

Adey magna clean pro is a good choice , but if you fit Worcester Bosch version it gives you another years warranty on the boiler . Kop

Hi Scot as it happens I sent a WhatsApp message to the EON guy thats had me taking pics of everything inside and out asking him what worcester boiler type and does boiler come with filters ect, but hasn't got back to me yet, but I will be getting one off them magnaclean filters as recommended by KOP, + recons you get an extra years guarantee if you fit one, or yea and I asked the eon guy does the new boiler come with a controller, wireless hopefully the one I was using was a Honywell CM927 but its got faulty display and you cant set some dates but you can use it just for turn on and off, cheers for looking Scott

 

[Richard Logan]

Hi KOP got my quote through they say they are fitting mag filter but don't say what model, i will speak to them in a couple days, is there any means of warranty that I could present to EON, they mabe fitting the filter you mention but if not it would be handy to produce a warranty for that filter, i would of put the quote up on here but I was having problems trying to copy and past it all I can try later I'll do it on my PC, other than that I was more than happy to get a spanking new worcester greenstar 30i fitted for £250.00 yeehaa

just spotted the guarantee thought they may of been abit better than 2 years, ans i was never really happy with the Honeywell CM 927 if any body wants them after new boiler fitted you ma be able to put the right you can have them only postage cost there are guys that fix them on eba but never used any TWO i purchased they just pixelated if ya no what i mean i could never end up programing them because some of the numbers disapeard, and there

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I would question that as Greenstar CDi & Si Compact, i or Ri also get the Worcester one fitted even if you have to pay an extra £20

• 7 year standard guarantee
• 8 year with any Greenstar System Filter

I have no problem about paying abit extra for the worcester one but it would be nice to get someone to post up here that there is such a warante, and you say standard guarantee 7 years so what's the reason on giving the end user 2 years and when looking about online I've even seen companies online giving out 10 years its just all sounds like the double glazing busines I was in for 25 years I had salesman telling customers the fitters will do this and that one customer was well passed of because my fitters didn't cut the lawn like the sales guy said, they caused stack of problems and the main one was guarente, I'll finish there waffling on

 

[ShaunCorbs]

The only option is they buy the boilers that cheap with basic warranty best person to ask is Worcester as you could register it your self and have the filter installed for 8 years etc

 

[Harvest Fields]

It’s because they get the boiler at such a discounted rate you will never get a 7 year parts cover. They want you to take the cover out with them after the 2 years.

 

[king of pipes]

£250 for a new boiler fitted even i would have a Worcester for that money 😉 kop
