Worst boiler to work on competition

[Rickster123]

Why? What problems have you had?

I hate the plastic case. I hate the stupid display that confuses every customer. Hate the way that when you unpack it and remove the plastic plugs half a pint of jet black water comes out. Always half to free the pump up on start up. Nuts are a nightmare to tighten. Condense fitting is in a stupid spot that always looks pony no matter how you pipe it. So all in all, not keen!

Has got to be the plate heat exchanger on a high flow!

was looking at the threads and I was going to post highflow till I saw you already had

Diamond are they the old sauniers that had a flap in the flue as an APS?

AWheating I am still repairing pumas now! There are a few estates around here that were fitted up with them, and a few still remain.

Agree with millsy on the O ring subject, why is it some manufacturers give you 90% of the O rings you need to change a part how they suggest, and throw a few others in that are useless along the way? Have to do a diverter on another 28CDI next week, only needs a diaphragm but you have to remove the whole valve completely to get to the diaphragm so just as well chuck a new one in and get the washers/O rings with it as well. I think it almost works out cheaper as well.


You say anything french, personally I love the chaffoteaux britony combis I know them inside out and they are very easy to work on. Just don't touch anything you don't have to!

I always do diaphrams without removing the diverter valves on CDI's, the screw right at the back to take the head off is really alkward to get to but I use a small ratchett, still a nasty job but prefer it to removing whole thing.

Easiest - Open flue thorn M42 - More modern I've worked on a good few Baxi's and find them relatively easy to get around! The GloWorms are a mare!!!

Yes the Genisis was baxi's hybrid transition to the combi market! A monstrosity! The guts of a combi lumped on top of an apollo 80 If my memory serves me well?
