Have fitted the Logics since there release and I have had maybe two heat exchangers fail in that time. Both were under warranty so changed no problem. We check by introducing food dye into the radiator and see if it turns up in the condensate trap

Or why not look at discolouration or smell the condensate water

The one vogue I fitted, there was a tremendous amount of plume. Even had ideal out to it who said it was completely normal.

No matter which boiler i search for there are bad reports. I cant get a conclusive "this is best"

What draws me to the Ideal Vogue is the stainless exchange, and Opentherm.

Tried Intergas? Very reliable and opentherm

I like the vogue , but if a system is looked afer or fitted great then problems will arise,
But good point from simon , every engineers opinion and experience is different,

I've installed 100,s logic and vogue never ever had a hot water heat exchanger fitted yet! It's all about the engineer doing the job simply do it properly flush thoroughly magna clean, in line descaler on every fit mini expansion on the cold if water meter or check valve..yep I'm expensive on my installs but it's done right...if customer wants to go for cheapest quote best of luck to em I get plenty of work!

Interesting to read this! My local man, in the trade for over forty years and with a very good reputation in this area recently fitted an Ideal for me. Having read about the comments about having a water meter fitted and the the back up problem I asked about having a mini expansion vessel fitted. He was unaware but contacted Ideal and they said not a problem with a long distance from main to boiler. But they sell the very same piece of kit! So why if not needed?

Because on some installs the cold water run from the meter will not be long enough and you could get problems. This is true of any combi not just Ideal. It's just that Ideal have identified the problem and have a kit available to sort it
