Boiler heat exchanger blocked. Diagnosed with no tools?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2020
- A Vaillant Turbomax heat exchanger is blocked and causing the boiler to overheat. In this video, I unblock a plate heat exchanger. I use chemicals to descale it. This system will require a powerflush.

Your're naturally good at explaining what you are doing as you go along. Fantastic boiler repaired by an absolute legend. Bless you Ollly, thanks for the heads up tips 👍.
There’s nothing I could do beside thanking you, you made me aware of loads of thing just from watching you. Master 👌👍
These things come from mistakes and listening when others tell their stories. :-)
I've never worked on a Vaillant, but this model is very similar to a Bosch/Budderus I serviced over a decade ago.
Good troubleshooting and presence of mind.
So I guess you get Worcester/Budderus over their?
Love the process you go through Ollie!! You always forgot to mention in the tools used....the loaf!! Nice one.🧠
Haha, loved the bung at the end, never seen that one before.
Thanks for the lesson! 👍🏽
Regin saved the day on this one. :-)
One of the best in the game 👊🏼
Thanks :-)
Another excellent video from the Heating Geek. Aww, Spirits of salts works every time! Expansion Vessel Checked and pumped up with foot pump on ALL combi boilers after every drain down, I also change the Grey rubber washer, ( front left of the Main heat exchanger ) this somtimes leaks when the diverter valve top nut is unscrewed. Vaillant P/N 981151 Pack of 10.
Thank
I have them on the van. I don't replace them unless they leak. Weird colour arent they. ;-)
Great video! Appreciate the detail and tips that you provide!
No problem. Glad you like it :-)
Just stumbled across your channel and have to say, I’m blown away by your knowledge, patience, calm and hilariously entertaining and informative videos. Have binged watched most of them. Super interesting. Keep making them, so many questions......
Welcome aboard! Glad you like them. ;-) Im trying get some more done while Im off work. Are you an engineer?
@@HeatingGeek Yes mate, 2 x engineers based in E17. I've been doing this for a while now, (15+ years, not solely breakdowns tbf) but I massively appreciate & respect your dedication to fixing a problem you encounter even when, on occasion, you get past the point of no return and it starts costing you money and time. We, (my brother and I have found ourselves in similar situations from time to time and despite the fact that economically the thing to do is to bail and move on to fight another day, we have often carried on until we get to the route of the problem, (sometimes more by luck then judgement admittedly). Primarily because we want to leave our customer happy with the issue resolved but also because we need to understand why we just spent 6 hours in front of whichever appliance it happens to be. Loving how you keep things simple and how you are able to remain so calm, whilst narrating and filming it all. Total class, keep them coming.
@@Shandanks E17, just down the road. :-) The boilers that are hardest to fix teach us the most. :-) My brother bailed out of the gas industry to become a sparks. He has an easer life and earns more money....
@@HeatingGeek yeah but he's missing out on the satisfaction gained once you see the burner go full flame once again!
Just signed up, looking forward to a Hophouse or 2 once we're allowed out to a pub again

Such a joy to work on those boilers.
Yes they are! Brilliant boilers. :-)
Hi, Ollie good training on lockdown time 👍
Glad it helps. :-)
Hi, sometimes I do watch videos before go to repair jobs. Really really helpful 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic! Both HeatingGeek and Dr Pipe put out videos in the same week on my favourite and arguably the best combi - the Turbomax Plus/Pro . My 16 year old Turbo still performs like new, and with occasional maintenance should get many more years out of it. Parts are cheap and readily available and most things (except expansion vessel ) are easy to change. You can remove the plate without disturbing the diverter. I undo the bottom left nut with basin wrench or crowsfoot if changing plate with diverter still in place. Interesting that you have a used Turbo to replace your Ecotec. Says a lot about these boilers and also a lot about modern boilers. Hope you get the swap on film when it happens. Thanks and please keep the videos coming. And stay SAFE!!
Good to see you back. :-) Turbomax is the best combi ever made. Great boiler.
@@HeatingGeek Thanks, HG. I'm always here, watching and lurking. Don't always post comments though. I was lucky that when my Vaillant Sine combi was getting tricky to repair (fantastic piece of enginerring, just too complex), it was 2004 when the Turbomax was part of Vaillant's current range of boilers. So fitted one and so glad I didn't wait for their next ranges of boilers. Just lucky I needed a new boiler at that time. A dog is for life, and so is a Turbomax ;-) Keep up the good work!
@@woodbine66 The sine 18 was a beast. I have fixed a few and my next video features the model just after the sine. Turbomax was the last great Vaillant but I still think Vaillant ar up there with the best
Top video fella really helpful.
Thanks again ‘Liam Gallagher’, another great one👍👍 I hope all the family are well & stay safe.
The Kung Flu takes no prisoners!!
This is my all-time fav boiler... Well the Plus version is. I have one to put in my house when the ecotec dies
HG, another great video mate. Little request: it would be nice if you did a video explaining how you got into the game and how you progressed the good and bad. Would be a nice watch during this lockdown.
Ok, I will try and get it filmed up.

The wiring center video. Do you want me to wait until I have one or are you ok to watch me do a mock-up one?
Hi Ollie, I have followed all your video so far, on central heating control's Could you please do a mock up video finishing central heating control's, with the wiring centre, and that would finish off the series, and then add video of real one later, on a job.. Cheers 👍
@@davidoshea1536 Ok, No problem.
Your intro is ironically 🔥

Great job 'GEEK' my thought was to clean or replace the auto vent and install a mag filter.
Agree it's an easy boiler fairly tough boiler, my favorite past boiler was the previous VCW242/282E.
Im not a fan of the gas valve and PCB on the older one and the diverter is a bit of a pig. I think Vaillant got it right with this job. :-)
100% agree .

Another cracking video! But late to the scene but getting through them all slowly! Your a beast at this mate great job! Been self employed now for 2 months-so far best things I ever did. Just a quick mention of this job did I clock the gas meter having a flexi downstream of the meter? See this all the time in commercial but I haven’t come across it much domestically
Its wrong, but I didn't notice it. :-)
Super.
Loved when u addressed the keyboard warriors. All the tips u give for example the main pipe popping off in the night and flow pipe in the heat exchanger twisting save all of us time and money. Where do I sign for patreon?

Hello
I have a vaillant turbo max plus I think my heat exchange plate may be blocked can a homeowner do the job following your process of cleaning it any help would be appreciated
I am keen on protecting the environment but think that cleaning out a heat exchanger using chemicals is by far better than the drive to buy a new one and the environmental impact of producing a heat exchanger. Well done, good video
Thanks :-) Its what I always do :-)
Great video, thanks! Are you doing a bit of Vaillant subby work at the Mo?
No, im self-isolating so doing nothing. :-)
@@HeatingGeek Well stay well and give us as much content as you can! Actually id really like to patreon your channel because of the quality that you have always put on. It's helped me massively TBH.

Hi I’m gas safe register & I’m doing revision for my reassessment so could you send me link for spillage test on cooker & open flue boiler please
Hi HG, on jobs like these do you recommend further works such as flush and or filter after you have completed. And is HG your company, I'm playing catch up with your vids and just trying to learn a bit about you.
Thanks for taking the time to upload your work.
The customer was not covered by the insurance company for this repair. I always clean plates to get people up and running. I get paid the same to walk out or temp repair. The customer was aware they needed a power flush after my visit.
@@HeatingGeek are you then able to pick up this work from directly from the customer if it's not covered, as in quote to fit a filter yourself?
@@Richard-ij8ge No I won't ever do it because of conflict of interest
@@HeatingGeek thanks........thinking of going contracting so was wondering of you were allowed to do this.
@@Richard-ij8ge No one will let you descale heat exchanger this way either. :-)
Still the best boiler on the market I am in the north so not many problems with hard water
I agree. :-)
So may I ask did this system have the correct amount of inhibitor and also a magnetic filter.
No. :-)
What are they 3/4" fibers? I cant remember if they are like Worcesters odd sized ones or generic?
No just normal size. :-)
With a job like this would you then recommend the customer has a power flush carried out?
Yes. Always. 50% don't listen.
Hello mate, what size spanner were you using on the diverter valve nuts ?
I think? they’re 24 & 32mm open end Spanner Ollie has cut & taped. If I’m correct, Silverline, (I know, I know, they just make cheap crap tools) do a fantastic compression nut spanner in these sizes, it’s surprisingly good quality & shop around, you can get one for under a fiver!
Hope that helps fella, stay safe & like me, kick back & enjoy Ollie’s videos👍👍

hi getting hot water when tap is quarter turned boiler kicking in and out when tap is fully open warm /cold boiler kicking in all the time slight noise from main heat exchanger the inlet pipe hot outlet warm

Yes. :-)
@@dombarnes7092 Very good spot. :-)
By the look of this, this sysrltem is in need of a good power flushing and maybe a magna clean since this is an occurring problem
YEP. But if a customer doesn't want to powerflush the system then what do you do??
@@HeatingGeek fully understand that but in the long run they just going to have problem after problem. All you can do is advise and if they dont take it then just keep turning up and taking the money to repair faults that come with not having a magnaclean and good power flush. Keep up the good work
@@Zaine22 Exactly. Sludge is bad for customers, not for me.
Did you pump the expansion vessel back up off camera?
I always pump a vessel. So unless I say I didn't then I must have. I don't rewatch my videos so I can only guess I did. :-)

How did it work on heating only?

Fantastic informative channel. You've saved me some time and money. Keep up the good work.
Can you tell me, why one would get blocked plate HE even after installing a quality magnetic and Y type physical filter????????
Pre existing magnetite and poor quality water before fitting filter - system has to be squeaky clean and dosed with right amount of inhibitor otherwise dirty system water will progressively worsen
@@hdhanji8006
But how does the larger particles ie. larger than 1 to 2mm pass through both the filters without getting caught??????
The physical filter holes are only 0.1 mm wide!!!!!!!
The derbies are around 4 to 10 mm wide and massive!!!!!
Both filters have been installed from the beginning .
Is it possible that they got trough the FLOW side by some kind of negative pressure force ??????
Because the debris was already inside the appliance when the filter was fitted. Or the chemicals used to protect the system are baking out of the water on to the main heat exchanger, then flaking off and blocking the plate. Also magnetic filters dont work 100%.
@@Han-es8qu Old boiler internals would have been contaminated I assume and not thoroughly cleaned, if the heating side of the system is clean and debris still found inside boiler :)
Sorry HG, didn't realise you replied to the fella
@@hdhanji8006
Even if it was contaminated ( which wasn't )
still it doesn't answer as to HOW contamination passes through the filter!!!????
As I said it was a new installation of a Baxi Main combi boiler , every thing was new, but now 4 years old.
I have seen many boilers with several fancy filters and still plate heat exchanger was full of magnetite ?????
I can't give the client a reasonable answer.

@@ohforfxcksake Yeah its pretty bad if it happens> ;_)
Why pulling the plate exchanger out when if you would have installed proper valves with drain house connections could use a pump in the bucket to do the cleaning. Also should install dirt separator on that boiler. That was some powerful cleaning solution!
Too much faffing. `easy to remove and clean and refit. I can do this job in 1 hour.
@@HeatingGeek Oh Ok. If can be done that fest why not, Thanks for the reply . It would be a good idea to add some cleaning solution to system , then drain it and ad boiler protect solution after that. That was one filthy plate exchanger.

Really don't understand why more engineers don't use a wet vac? Saves loads of time.
I have 2 wet vacs but prefer a couple of buckets. I do get the wet vacs out at least once a week though. I have made more messes in customers houses with wet vacs than any other tool :-)
Hi, I work for one of the manufacturers of plate heat exchangers. We do not advise using Hydrochloric acid (spirit of salts) as it can actually cause corrosion. There are other weaker acids which can do the job such as phosphoric or oxalic and will not damage the heat exchanger.
Its not in there long enough. I have been doing this for nearly 10 years like this. Never had a problem. I know it will damage the heat exchanger if left in. Exactly what product do you recommend? I will try it out. :-)
@@HeatingGeek That's fair enough. Generally it will not cause damage if flushed immediately after as you say, however the heat exchangers are made to last and can last for 15 years if treated correctly. Using a strong acid will reduce lifetime from 15 years to 8-10 years. You probably won't see any problems as other parts in a boiler will go before this timeframe. I cannot recommend particular products for obvious reasons, but look for ones containing mineral acids such as phosphoric or oxalic acid. Even acetic acid will work (vinegar).
@@1991elliot For the job I do customers have 2 options. A quick blast with spirits of salt or a new heat exchanger. I get a fixed cost for my time so its very important (To me) that the job is quick. I will give what you say a go and see what works. Thanks for the reply. I will not forget phosphoric or oxalic acid. I have tried vinegar with little success. :-)
Did you notice the gas meter outlet supply pipe off the meter was not ridged pipe ?🤨
Yes. When someone commented on here. Pipework was clipped and the meter was fixed to the wall. I'm not worried.:-/

Do you think you might be encouraging non gas safe engineers to try and repair their own boiler?
I hope not. But people were doing it before and will continue to do it now.
If people were to protect their heating systems from corrosion and hard water properly, we would all be out of work. Thank god for piss poor installation keeping us all busy.
:-) and the terrible boilers some manufacturers put out there, :-)
At 2:00 look at the gas meter - that looks like an anaconda on the outlet naughty naughty
Yep. I missed that. :-0
HeatingGeek haha you will not have been the first so when you point it out to the customer they say the last x no of engineers didn’t say anything!!
All these lot saying it needs a Magnaclean - obvious newbies. Magnacleans weren't even invented when this boiler was being fitted. Yes retrofitting one would be lovely, but its worked for 15 or so years without one, a new plate / cleaned plate will see this thing out till it dies of economic obsolescence. Why fit a £200 filter to a 15+ year old boiler it won't even be in the house in 5 years and the next boiler will probably come with one long as the installer is decent. I used to clean plates out in the decade before Magnacleans were invented and a well cleaned plate with a few hot flushes will last long enough for a boiler like this
Plates will usually last a while. Not always but generally at least 6 months and some I have had last 5 years after being replaced.
Try not to show everything out here on RUclips because there are diy ppl or home owners who will start doing these job themselves even though they not gas safe and it just means gas engineers out there might lose some jobs not saying everyone will but try to not show everything because a gas engineer should know most of these stuff already. Good video tho
I get what you're saying. Should I cut out more of the basic stuff? Like draining etc? Where do you draw the line as such? :-)
HeatingGeek yes like draining stuff... isolating main, flow and return and other basic things. Cheers buddy I have done two of these last week. Great video tho
