Intergas boiler thoughts

[Riley]

I still don’t see it as much of a sale swinger for me. I haven’t ever come across a diverter motor that is difficult to change

Diverter in a sime was a nightmare. Worcester cdi's were a pain as well, the vaillant 242 was a bit of a pig at times.

But for me it’s not a major part to change if they wanted to be groundbreaking they could’ve come up with something far better to make a sale To me it’s the wrong approach because it sounds like you’re saying something will go wrong with your boiler but we remove this one part so that can’t be the problem

I'm with you in thinking it's the wrong approach.

If you look at the worcester stepper motor they are really very reliable and if they do go they are dead simple to change.

Also there must be a reason every other manufacturer has gone for plate heat exchangers.

 

[Riley]

I would say the plate heat exchangers are cheaper to produce en mass and as we all know are subject to blockage. Intergas have obviously done away with this problem but I can’t help feeling that they must be cutting corners elsewhere to keep their price so competitive

 

[Millsy 82]

I fully agree with you. Otherwise all the other manufacturers would be doing exactly the same.

Isn't it better a relatively cheap plate catches dirt or blocks up with scale otherwise where is it going to end up. I know I would rather replace the plate than the main heat exchanger.

It would be nice to know which is more efficient.

Isn't the unique feature of the intergas heat exchanger that water never comes into contact with the aluminium?

 

[Riley]

But again it’s a gimmick. It’s not really a deal breaker for 98% of customers

 

[Gasnoob]

Copper is going to last. Aluminium won't?

Aluminium will last, so long as the quality of the water in the system is maintained. Also alot of manufacturers now are using stainless steel heat ex's.
