Can anyone advise where is a good place to buy secondary heat

IIRC). I'd like to buy one now, before the current one gets scaled
up. Mail order, perhaps... I live in a very hard water area and it
seems I have to replace the thing almost every year.

Is there some reason you don't take it out now (before it
completely blocks) and descale it? I descalled one on a
Baxi a couple of weeks ago -- it was very easy and made
the boiler work much better.

Thanks for the tip, but it's a weird heat exchanger with no
projections to attach pipes to. Otherwise I'd love to try descaling
it. To descale this one, it looks as though you'd need a purpose-built
descaler.
