Hi,
I have just pulled my oil-fired CH boiler out AGAIN (battling with a leak - the last time that I had this, I successfully electric-welded the water jacket, but hasn't worked this time - discovered that welding can cause new cracks around the weld area, so am trying J-B Weld which has an amazing spec - will post the results !!) Anyway, back to the current issue. The boiler has only been in use (since the last removal, when I descaled the combustion area) less than 2 weeks. Nevertheless, there is an obvious scaling (yellowy "balloons") present ( - see photos below). Anybody got any idea whether this is a "problem" ? Does it indicate an incorrect burner setting (i.e. induduced air volume) or is it "normal" for oil-fired boilers ?? (haven't managed to insert photos - help !! Alt+p only seems to insert
)
