Frankly yes ... probably: are you having any issues with it?


No - it works.
Soft water here.


OTOH one of the things I forgot to mention in my earlier post is that, if
it's a combi and if you're in a hard water area, there should be a scale
inhibitor fitted to the system. If you have a phosphor-dosing system such
as a Combimate or a canister type (http://yaph.co.uk/limescale) then that
should be refilled or replaced, which you may need or want an engineer to
do. If it has an electrolytic, electronic or magnetic type fitted then I'd
just put the money aside to save up for having it descaled and a proper
scale inhibitor fitted later :-)
