Could the tubes in a Valliant eco tec pro 28 still block if the system was clean and had inhibitor in. If it was 8 years old but was topped up with inhibitor every 18 months could they still get abit blocked with wear ?

depends how you cleaned it in the first place , especially when you've had F75
It was flushed when first installed and has had inhibitor in every 18 months. I had F75 but could get on by topping up. I called my Swinton insurance who sent a engineer out on Christmas eve who tried to say it was the vessel. This was before he even took cover off. Exact words "Its the vessel and your insurance does not cover it. Then I stated I believe it is the sensor as it comes on when topped up. and manual explains this He said he cleaned sensor and left. 1 hr after he left it went off again, this time with F73 which is definetely sensor. I phoned insurance and they said the engineer has put down contaminated system so not covered as tubes was hard. I decided to have a look myself. I noticed water by sensor, I isolated boiler and drained. I have removed sensor and the engineer has on purpose removed the rubber o ring on sensor so water would leak onto it and completely break it. He obviously didnt want this job on Christmas eve and has completely ruined my chrismas with a 1 year old and a 6 year old. Would of took 10 mins to replace sensor but instead he lied. My system water is clean and he never tested water just said tubes are hard. Without lying they are a little but this is not when sensor failed, I do not believe.depends how you cleaned it in the first place , especially when you've had F75
Looking at it you cannot get these tubes anymore and it was a common fault.

Water is supposed to go in the sensor.
Without the oring water would be ****ing out of it immediately.
All insurance companies do this. You have been wasting you're money since you took out the policy.
Why/how was inhibitor added every 18 months.

The kids wouldn't give a monkey's about the boiler.

Ruined is a relative term, don't suppose George Michaels family is having a legendary one either

Has the pressure sensor reading been checked for accuracy??
No he never done nothing like that he was just saying to me he was ordering a part and it will be fixed next day. Then next day come and no one called, so i phoned swinton and they said engineer has wrote contaminated water so not covered.
Also this is not possible now as he robbed the o ring . I am picking another sensor up in morning to put in.
