- I couldn't work it out at first, but after carrying out further checks on this one it became clear that the problem wasn't boiler related. The second job, well, the water quality speaks for itself!
Thank you everyone for your support on the channel and hopefully 10k will be hit before midnight tonight!

Thank you all for your support to 10K! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Well done mate👊🏼👍🏼
@@russellbaldry5095 thank you 🙌🏾
Im currently back at college doing my gas reassessment…….should be all done by Tuesday next week🙏🏼🙈
Well deserved milestone. Keep up the good work.
🙌🏾
10K Bro. 🎉 Congratulations. Well deserved
Thank you! 😊
Congratulations bro it's 10k already. Obviously I'm late by one day but never missed your videos
Thank you! 🙌🏾
Big congratulations on the 10k
Great achievement,
Great video as always 👍👍🤜
Thanks Tony! 👊🏾
I finally got one !
Must admit I never knew they were called
de-aerators but I still got it.
Starting my own TH-cam channel next week 💪🏻😂
Nice one! Let me know and I'll sub 👊🏾
Well done mate, knew it wouldn't be long. Pleased for you 👍🏻
Another good video buddy. Congrats on the 10k. Well deserved.
Thank you Mac 👊🏾
10 k , you deserve every single one 👏👏
Thank you! 🙌🏾
Congrats on your huge subscriber base! You deserve it! 👊🏼
Thank you 👊🏾
Good video mate, I will start checking all taps to see if they have a regulator from now on
Nice one mate 👊🏾
Nice one. Chirag❤. That was most definitely interesting
Thank you 🙌🏾
ref WB. Check the flow rate through the kitchen tap and check against MI's.
The boilers often have a low min flow rate - 4l/m ? in which case perhaps the kitchen tap should have fired the boiler regardless, indicating a poor flow rate through the tap AND a defective flow turbine ? Just more forgiving on a low pressure loss tap elsewhere ?
The Vaillant hex, although they have parallel pipes, they can often be cleared. I have had good success with strong cleaner particularly on the 37KW boilers (prone to hex blockage along with the 415/418). You will need to clean the system for a new boiler anyway so why not clean with this boiler and give it a chance ?
Ps when you clean it fit a tee on the return so you obtain the greatest flow rate through the boiler and reverse too.
Nice one mate thank you 👍🏾
Well deserved my mate 🎉
Thanks Dan!
Hi, a flow cup would have been a good help, then check against the manual to see what the minimum flow rate to activate the turbine. The temp at the kitchen tap was low compared to the bathroom sink tap , I would have a look for a faulty mixer maybe a shower mixer cartridge , I’ve had the problem a good few times, there’s a flow restrictor in the boiler to restrict flow through the plate to plate so if there’s a faulty mixer or blending valve the flow on the cold would be greater than the hot stopping the flow turbine working properly. One good way to check is to check the temperature on the hot pipe directly below the boiler and compare it to the temp at the tap, and if possible isolate the shower if fitted . Sorry for long explanation but you could change the tap for the wrong reason . Regards
Thanks mate, so I did isolate the cold feed under the boiler and it stopped the water coming out of the hot tap, which would have ruled out a passing mixer as then I would have expected cold water to keep flowing through? Appreciate the suggestions 👍🏾
@@cputilitysolutions sorry yes you did. I’m as guilty i over complicate my fault finding sometimes , but same as you I see many boiler faults and miss sometimes the most simple fixes. Cheers.
@@jinty47445 all good mate, this is what it's about, bouncing ideas off each other as it's easy to miss the simple things 👍🏾
Valve could be for under floor heating
Nope there wasn't anything else and it was wedged open. I reckon this was the airing cupboard for an older system and whoever converted it left the zone valve in
10k coming, easy👍
Thank you 🙌🏾
Definitely a flow issue on the kitchen sink as kept going slow then fast
Sweet 👌🏾
Good day people. Hope you're enjoying this Sunday movie as much as me
Thanks man 👊🏾
subbed!
Thank you!
I see chigs sorting out jobs that mr shoaib aka the dogs bollocks of gas safe engineers couldn’t sort out. GO ON CHIGS SONNN😂😂😂👊🏻👊🏻
Haha we're all here to help each other out end of the day 👊🏾👊🏾
How do u know that's the blockage at heat exhanger rather than the plate? Lovely video as always. Cheers
The plates on Vaillants very rarely get blocked as the canoe filter protects it. That's why I stripped out the flow pipe to check it. On heating the boiler wouldn't ramp up to full rate either
Another great video cheers. Do you carry genuine manufacturer orings for all boilers or clean and grease the existing when you take off parts and put them back or have a third party box of multiple sizes that fit other boilers? I find I waste time having to go off and get the exact orings from merchants as having all the different ones would be too expensive - changed a flexicom hx hex the other day and city want £8 for just one flow/return elbow o ring. Thanks
Most of the time I've gotten away with re-greasing existing ones. I carry some of the genuine spare o-rings but I also have an assorted box as well which has most of the sizes in it. Depending on the condition of the o-rings I've been ok with reusing them so far. Bet you the next time it leaks now 😂
Last job ain't worth doing as like you mentioned heat exchanger is caked.
Yeah man, I'd love to have a proper go at it, but can't win them all!
@@cputilitysolutions Exactly 💯
9.99k so less than 10 to go now. Congrats on 10k you'll get there before the next video I'm sure😊
Thank you 🙌🏾
Not sure you can flush them heat exchangers.. they not single pass.. you'll just be cleaning the channel of least resistance only
