Re: This thing is going to burn my great beans"I K
OK today after some mechanical descaling we put the element back in and put a heap of Citric acid in and turned her on. took a fair while to heat up being only 1000 watts, started to drawer off the hot water and have it replaced via the boiler refill......but nothing was happening, no refill. th ecitric acid and the heat made the boiler fill probe inactive. If I de-powered the thing and removed the lead to the boiler refill and repowered it, the boiler refill stareted. De-power again and replace the lead repower and the thing didnt autofill.
I think whats happening is that the presence of the acid was not allowing enough resistance to open the valve. I flushed the boiler and away she went...magic eh
