Vokera combi is dumping water THROUGH THE CONDENSATION PIPE.
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.26 PM
Hi. I recently had a problem with Vokera combi boiler. The pressure was dropping down to zero in half an hour after topping up. It persisted for couple of days until I 'flashed' the system by running it on one radiator on at the time. Then it magically stopped loosing water. I was advised to use fernox F3 cleaner and then put an inhibitor F1 in. So yesterday I drained the system and put the cleaner in. When I turned the heating on, the pressure dropped down to zero again, in half an hour or - so the same problem again, but my tricks don't help it anymore. The boiler is one year old. Can anyone assess where the problem is. If that was a leaking heat exchanger, how come it worked again for the last couple of weeks after my flashing? Is there some automatic valve on the condensation pipe that might've gotten stuck? I would appreciate any clues or maybe educated inspection.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
