Hi All,
We have a Viessmann 222-F BT2B Combi Storage Boiler - it was installed in 2019 so about 6 years old. A Magnaclean Professional 2 Filter was fitted at time of boiler installation. A Power Flush was also done & a water softener fitted.
The boiler has been serviced every year without fail & the last service was about 3+ weeks ago. At time of servicing the Magnaclean filter is checked, cleaned & new Adey MC1+ Inhibitor always added.
We have 10 Radiators in the house - all double panel except one & six are less than a year old, two are about 2 years old, one about 8 years old, one about 15 years old & one about 20+ years old. There are 3 Towel Rads - two about 8 years old & one about 12 years old.
We used to find some sludge on the Magnaclean filter not an excessive but still a surprising amount considering mainly new main Rads, system had a power flush & yearly inhibitor added.
We had a boiler issue last week whereby it was not working & no hot water or heating. Viessmann sent an engineer round to fix & he changed a pump at the back of the bottom section & behind the top of the water storage tank. He still experienced some problems but was able to identify the issue as crud in the plate heat exchanger which, as a novice had me quite shocked.
I explained to him, that the Magnaclean 2 Pro was fitted just for this purpose to collect the sludge & debris so how could the Plate Heat Exchanger possibly be blocked & especially badly enough to cause the boiler to have issues & surely the Magnaclean Pro 2 would have have collected it as it was never fully packed with sludge on the magnet - it just does not nake sense to me at all.
He just said the filter collects some stuff but not all of it - but again, this did not make sense to me - I can understand if the there was so much sludge collected in the Magnaclean Pro 2 that there was no more room for it to collect any more of it but this was not the case & also, I was not expected much sludge at on a cleaned...
