After lots of checking a Heating Engineer has decided a mate's heating

Quite possible in that timescale - the heat exchanger sees mains water
all the time, so hard water will scale it up.


You are assuming its a combi, and in a hard water area as well... I was
assuming he was talking about the main HX being (partly) blocked on the
primary side. Perhaps the OP could clarify?



Oh - yes, main HX... I just read it as the DHW HX.
