Default combi boiler too old?

Hi
I just bought a flat in London (hard water) and the combi boiler
(stelrad ideal sprint) is at least 15 years old judging by one of the
date stickers. The hot water flow rate is poor and the water never
gets really hot. The radiators get quite warm but never really hot
either - the thermostat reads about 35-40c after an hour or two in
use. The boiler sounds OK, not banging noises etc. There are no
exposed temperature controls on the boiler so I can't adjust anything.

Are there any easy ways to increase the temperature or is the boiler
just too old, probably furred up and in need of replacing?

If I replace it is it worth getting a condensing combi? It's a 1 bed
flat and the water's hard so it might not last long enough to pay for
itself.

Also, how can you tell if a water softener is working, apart from
taking apart the boiler to see if it's furring up?

Many thanks

Jules

You could possibly get the heat exchanger descaled, however at that
age you may start incurring other costs of spares that make it
uneconomic. It's probably quite low spec anyway.


If I replace it is it worth getting a condensing combi? It's a 1 bed
flat and the water's hard so it might not last long enough to pay for
itself.


Certainly. Savings of 25-30% of gas use for heating are possible as
compared with a boiler of this age, although in money terms, that may
not equate to that many pounds.

You can resolve the scaling issue by putting in either a proper water
softener (ion exchange type using salt) or a phosphate dosing unit
such as a Combimate. The latter uses a very slowly dissolving
chemical which costs about £15 per year to replace, and prevents or
largely reduces scaling. It does not soften the water, so doesn't
save on detergent or shampoo like a softener will. A softener will
generally pay for its salt running cost in detergent and shampoo
savings.

THe so-called electronic and magentic water conditioners are
questionnable to put it kindly and for most people have little or no
effect.



Also, how can you tell if a water softener is working, apart from
taking apart the boiler to see if it's furring up?



You can test the water with a test kit or test tablets (costing about
£1-2)

If it's a salt based softener, you can tell because salt is used, and
if you wash your hands with soap, the effect of hard vs. soft water is
quite obvious.






Many thanks

Jules

The 3-way valve may only be partially opening as well. The phosphor
decalers can have a habit of clogging to the venturi holes in the body.
This requires removing the top (easy enough) and poking out all holes with a
paper clip. The magnetic and electronic descalers sopmetime are not
effective. But fitted on an appliance imput teh success is much higher.
Some makers recommend them. This company:
http://www.heatweb.com clearly
show one here http://www.heatweb.com/products/tanks/tanks.html the bottom
left piccie, the bottom left pipe under the blue knob.

A full salt softener is expensive and a waste of time. They also take up
space.

Given that they are the only solution (other than moving to a new part
of the country) if you want properly softened water, what else would you
propose?

They also take up space.

In other respects their information is reasonable.

Don't be stupid. An ion exchange softener is ceertainly more
expensive than a phosphor dosing unit, but it softens the water and in
turn prevents scaling. None of the other options do both of these.

They also take up
space.


So do you, but democracy allows it.

I know. His next move will be to suggest that Teflon Tony may not be

It reminds me of talking to a university though. The politics are so

Interesting comment on Child of Our Time" last night that IQ can go
down during childhood if you come from an impoverished background. So
(stretching things a little) one can literally "not have the common
sense one was born with"!

dIMM obviously doesn't have the common sense to realise what he's lost.

Another confused person. Everyone knows about Dim Lin the luscious

lovely.

No - it's just another figment of your deranged imagination - as usual


Maxie!! I know you protective of Dim Lin, but we all know she is your bird.
Do you sling here on your motor bike and go for a spin? I'll keep my eye
out for a fatty and an Oriental enchantress on a motor bike.

According to another thread, he's had is account pulled for posting 'snip
drivel' so many times. And rightly so.

There was a Scandinavian (Inge) guy over in a satellite group a couple of
years ago
who had so many accounts pulled he eventually got blocked from the entire
country's ISPs. Once he had created a track record as a morpher subsequent
ISPs rapidly removed his "new" accounts and his telephone CLI became blocked
from opening new subscriptions
Despite the possible amusement value I for one wouldn't lose any sleep if
the group didn't suffer so much nonsense, and wasting of bandwidth.

He does seem to have got so much worse of late... it used to be one or
two threads every few days, but this is getting silly!

Though I feel the pragmatic solution is in our hands, and is to let go
of the temptation to ding-dong with dIMM. A single, measured factual
correction for the benefit of the archives and the noobs, with an
invitation to Google IMM's posting history if you must, then leave the
undersocialised one to have the last word. The more interaction, the
more he's encouraged to pipe up.

Local, social solutions to local, social irritants typically work better
than centrally-administered technically-based ones.

You are incompetent in you work that is clear. Well you lack basic
knowledge which would translate to incompetence. When I see incompetence I
tell people so. Hurts doesn't it.
