Hi guys,
I recently moved in to a house with a Grant 90 V3 combi boiler installed. I happened to open the front cover this evening and found this:
That's a water/scale mix on the bottom surface of the boiler housing and then obviously quite a build up of scale on the heat exchanger and its connections. A quick feel around reveals the connections to the heat exchanger are seeping.
I just wanted to get a bit more info before calling a plumber in really. From searching around these forums I'm guessing leaks aren't uncommon in Grant boilers?! The boiler was installed when the house was built in 2007 and I'm not sure what servicing it has been subjected to but there is a sticker stating that the system has been treated with Sentinel X100 inhibitor. The date on the sticker says 2007 though so I presume this was put in when it was installed and hasn't been touched since. Should the inhibitor have been replaced/topped up before now considering we have very hard water around here?
Can anyone recommend a plumber in the Norwich/Great Yarmouth (NR13) area?
Thanks.
