cleaning CH heat exchanger
 

Does anyone know where i can get (or improvise!) a tool that will get
between the fins of my CH heat exchanger to clean it without damaging
it? I have used a stiff brush but it is simply not effective at getting
deep enough between the narrow gaps.

TIA

I use a lollipop stick - you can buy bags of them in craft places. Still
hard work but just the right size.

For my unlamented Potterton Envoy I used a short length of heavy grade
nylon strapping.

I struggled for damn ages.
Then I discovered that the crap is water soluble, when I took the heat
exhanger off, and washed it in a bucket of water.
