DE-SCALING THE BOILER

Hello!

We used your service last year when our heat exchange went on the blink and you kindly fitted a new one. We are starting to have the same problem again as the hot water pressure is getting lower. We want to try and de-scale the boiler in case that will sort the problem out but dont know how! We dont have a water softener and the water is Newbury is a nightmare! Help!

Thanks

Hi Janine,

Hope you are well!

There is no point in attempting boiler descaling as the probelm is in the external heat exchanger alone. Hard water makes them scale up and the only certain way of stopping it is to have a water softener fitted. Once you have one the scale in place now will be slowly disolved away over a few months.

A new softener fitted now will slowly reverse the situation, or I can fit you another new heat exchanger for an instant fix.

Try www.harveysofteners.com for a water softener.
