Hi,
I'm worried about a new Vaillant ecoTEC pro 28 installed about a month ago. Everything is working fine except I can sometimes smell gas from the hot water taps when I start to run them. I thought perhaps I was just me, but this morning my builder turned the hot water on and said he could smell gas.
I've called the installer and he came quickly when I explained that the hot water smells of gas, but he couldn't smell anything (an neither could I) when I turned the tap on to demonstrate. He said that he's never heard of gas getting into the water.
Then the builder went to get materials and bumped into a plumber friend. He thought he had heard of a fault with Vaillant boilers, where a hole in the combustion tank can suck gas into the hot water but once the tank warms up it seals itself. Could this explain why the water didn't smell gassy when the installer came round?
Has anyone else heard of a problem like this with Vaillant boilers? I'd be really grateful for advice.
