Biological growth in header tank.
In the summer I had the boiler and 6 (out of 10) radiators replaced. Last week I discovered a growth in the plastic header tank, which until then had always contained clear water. I skimmed the growth off but it is starting to appear again. What caused it and how do I remedy it? Thanks

I'm planning on adding the Bosch EasyControl (CT200 + TRVs) to my new boiler. If all rads are controlled by smart TRVs, does the central unit still operate as a thermostat, or function just as the controller? Question is related to the positioning of the controller - If it's still a...
