Where can I buy plate heat exchanger?

[zanwan]

Anyone know where i can buy a plate heat exchanger? I dont necessarily need a new one but will probably get one if my current one plays up again. Searched online for the Saunier Duval f30 but no luck.

Couple of companies i've emailed have not got back to me, so assuming they dont have them in.

Any help?

You can change it of course, and it might help for a while, but it won't sort out the problem

plate heat exchangers block up from shyte in the rads and pipes due to poor installation and/or lack of proper maintenance.
The narrow openings in the plate hex act as a filter, so you can throw away the filter, it is only a matter of time before the next one is full of mud as well.
Very common problem

The solution is to power flush the system which costs about £350 !

But if you have a boiler installed by a cowboy they dont bother to do that !

Am I missing something?
I would think no matter who installed it, dirty system cleaned solves the problem.
