U running on immersion ? Boiler off?

Ask them if you can get a titanium one due to the water quality

also advise the customer they need a water softener.

No. You should also know that you must use OEM parts on an unvented.

It's like banging your head against a brick wall.

 

[Ermintrude]

Or your head being banged with a brick wall. You can control your head it's all the bricks that build the wall.

Nadia. You know full well you must only use manufacturers parts with uv. To do otherwise is both illegal and unprofessional.
