Sharp Point
As title girls n boys, why oh why. Let's discuss.
I know of a few vaillant turbomax combi's i installed years ago, that have never missed a beat ( well not quite true, a couple of minor repairs) their expansion vessels are still going strong. What is it with today's boilers? I am going back to boilers less then 18 months old with fubar'ed vessels and yes i have drained pressure off boiler and checked charge levels and recharged, but gone back the next day with pressure gone. Most have water coming outta the schrader valve when boiler pressure charged to whatever pressure. I usually just pass onto manufacturer if under warranty, but who pays me?
And why oh why, do they use such poxy small bored connecting tubes, Alpha have the worse internal diameter bore so far i've come across so far.
The quality of vessels are just dire and yes before you all dive in, i do chemically flush and clean out ALL my boiler installs with inhibitor added after, to the right concentrate levels too.
The boiler manufacturer's should get onto their component manufacturer's.
