Servicing boilers with a long warranty

[Scott_D]

Does anyone have a service schedule they work to for boilers with a long warranty e.g. 10 years?
Changing electrodes
Clean system water
Adding inhibitor

Or just standard service and address any problems as they come up?

Best bet is to do what the MF's recommend.

Agreed when they give a fan pressure, trigger values or number of year between burner removal.
But I don't think any state when electrodes should be replaced.
Also I don't have any way of testing inhibitor levels.

I always go off the condition with things like electrodes. Visual and ionisation current.
You can buy tester kits for inhibitor but they usually only test for their own like sentinel for example. You could use the old fashioned way.
Jam jar half full of Heating water and a 6" nail lol. Leave it a day or two and you'll have your answer.

How many still use that method? or has it been lost and forgotten in this money motivated world?

This can be a tricky one ! if you find a faulty part i.e slight drip would you repair it or call out manufacture ? just how deep do you get involved ??
