Hi all,
Today I had one of my boilers replaced, it was in an extended part of the house where the pipe work is buried in the concrete floor.
My GSR sent the following email :-
We did boiler today, I have enclosed these picture !
Filled up , but the rads didn't get very hot , there was a circulation problem ! Even though it was flushed
We kept filling system to 3 bar then opened magna clean and loads of white metal flakes came out !!!!!! They where blocking the return from rads .
I don't no why they are white ! Usually brown or black sludge !! Don't know what type of pipe is under floor
Anyway , I think we got most out, and the rest will be court by the magna clean ! The old boiler was full of them so not surprising the valve was stuck !
I think it will be a case of returning in three weeks to remove magna clean and cleaning out again !
Should I be concerned about a potential problem with the buried pipes ? Or is this something that GSRs come across from time to time and so not a major issue as long as the magna filter does its job.....
Thank you for comments/advice
