I have put in a boiler, bog standard Valiant condensing boiler,
I have put in quite a few, all with no problem, but a customer asked me about fitting a scale inhibitor/reducer, I dont have a problem fitting them, if they ask me
BUT
I have never bother fitting them before (even when I was fitting standard combi boilers)
I always regarded them as an gimmick, I saw the insides of pipes that had them fitted and saw the scale on taps and shower heads and I never saw much difference
I have always told anyone if they want to eliminate scale to fit a proper water softener, but now I have read they can screw up condensing boilers if they dont have the right heat exchanger (never really took much notice what type they have, just as long as they work)
Has anyone else got any views on fitting them and have they seen any real benefits from them ?
(either magnetic type, clamp on type things, coils, plug in gadgets or the flow through type)
