Hi there, I am an x motor mechanic and I regularly watch your videos on boilers. Your work is very detailed and informative and I really appreciate it

Where the crack is on the old sump is where the moulding machine holds the sump during manufacture. The new sumps are same material but the spot where held during moulding is an inch or so to the right on the corner where the composite is thicker.

Good video Allen and Elliot! I have recently fitted a Ideal Vogue system 32kW and I do like it. Stainless Steel HX much better in my opinion than aluminium. Keep up the vids!!

[@AllenHart999]

Thank you.

Hi Allen. Keep up the great videos mate. Would love a full video on the water heaters (how they work, things to look for etc)as they are old school and I’m not to up on them, do all new stuff ok but these not so.

[@plumbertales8772]

Nice one Allen nice one Elliot, I’ve fitted one of those water heaters years ago and after 15 years the client finally got me to service it, one thing that could be mentioned which is a common fault after years of service, if the hot water is not great always check the water governor for a split diaphragm 👍🏻

[@AllenHart999]

Nice one

[@cynt1111]

Still come across a few of the old Water heaters. On the logics do you do a full strip every year, I put my scope camera inside and if they look good just clean the electrodes, and run a bit of water through with my specially adapted water bottle.

[@AllenHart999]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@AllenHart999]

Thank you so much.

[@normanboyes4983]

Excellent video - thank you. As an ‘interested consumer’ why are these plastic composites cracking? Bad design, wrong materials, thermal cycling, acidic attack? Has the manufacturer ever fessed up? Looking at the one where the screws were examined it does appear the crack may have its in origin in the receiving threaded hole which may be the ‘stress raiser’. Sorry lots of questions but that’s the engineer in me - would be interested in your views?

[@AllenHart999]

Hi Norman. Very good question. Most boilers have common faults, Ideal boilers have updated the sump now so hopefully, they will last longer. They always seem to crack in the same place, This is one of the reasons to have your boilers serviced every year. Thanks.

[@32dartsking]

great vid as always thanks to Elliot as well. in the next 10 months will have to see if you service a Vaillant ecofit pure, i have fitted four but do not like anything other than the 10 yr warranty and price about them, back to Ideal`s

[@SalimKhan-gk1fh]

I had to fit an eco-fit pure recently there was nothing I liked about it but I talk the customer into getting a Viessmann and they are a lot lot better

[@efrygasservices6169]

Hi @32dartsking I haven’t yet serviced a Pure but have carried out loads of services on the energy which are almost the same. Both interim services and the major projects service with the Mai heat ex seals replaced. I shall try and film the next one I do.

[@AllenHart999]

👍👍👍👍

[@tatayplayer]

Hi Alan, I am looking for a replacement combi, is the Ideal vogue a better bet than the Logic range in your opinion, I understand it has a stainless steel Heat exchanger and obviously will cost more. Although retired and never been in the Heating/plumbing industry I love watching your videos, Regards John

[@AllenHart999]

It’s all about personal choice. I really like the Vogue but it costs a lot more than the logic. You can also have a logic with a 10 year warranty. As long as the boiler is serviced and you have hot water then either would be ok. Just remember to have the boiler serviced to keep up with the warranty. My choice i would go for the Vogue over a logic though. Hope that helps. Thanks.

[@michaelmackie9434]

Do you change the burner seal on the logic at every strip service?

[@AllenHart999]

I have never changed one. Ideal told me to inspect and change if needed. Please check with ideal though.

[@rezuk1208]

💞💞💞

[@PowerPlusHeatingTv]

would you remove heat ex when fitting new sump or loosen heat ex? it would be helpful to see what techniques are used in a combi as the system has got alot more room to push the back clips up? thanks

[@AllenHart999]

Very good question. Personally, I have never had to remove a heat exchanger. Also, loosen the screws. Thanks.

[@PowerPlusHeatingTv]

Will try again in future last one was a right falafel despite greasing everything and trying to get the back lugs in first. The far left one was not having none of it. Go on Allen put on a video to help me and I'm sure many more out with a tips and tricks type demo with this part change n the 'man cave'. Please thanks

[@scobeno1911]

Remove gas valve, remove bracket holding spark generator, loosen screws on hex a little , pry of the front 3 clips holding on the sump, grab the front of sump where inspection hatch goes, pull hex toward you and at same time pull down and push back on the sump. Hopefully you should dislodge the right and the middle rear sump clip. Get a large screwdriver and put between top of sump and bottom of hex on left hand side and lever down, this should snap of the las sump clip. Remove sump. To reinstall, some lube on sump seal, get the front 3 clips in then get a large shifter or something and hit bottom of sump till the rear clips engage. Top tip.... always get a mirror and check rear clips are fully home. You can tell usually when home as hex kind of springs back but always check with mirror

I normally just reuse if they look ok. Please refer to the manufactures instructions though as things change. Thanks.

what i will add is after cleaning the electrodes they might look clean but they might have oxidised. use your multi meter to check the continuity. they may look perfect but could be buggerd. hope this is a tip for you all.

They are ok if installed correctly. They also need to be serviced correctly.

[@twocvbloke]

Amused that this video popped up, yesterday my uncle's Ideal Logic Combi 30 or whatever it is crapped out, seems the diverter valve has gotten stuck, and looking over the thing, screw fixing that myself, so much plastic!!! I have a Potterton Promax Combi HE 28, and it's for the most part metal parts (except the diverter motor, which has previously failed so has a new one), but that Ideal thing, goodness me, all that plastic inside of something that gets HOT, ugh, what an utter piece of shite... :\

[@AllenHart999]

The Ideal Logic is a really good boiler if installed correctly. It has had some modifications since it first came out. They now offer upto 12 year warranty on them. Thanks for the comment.

[@colnemac]

Don't look under the bonnet of your car then. Inlet manifolds, thermostat housings, water outlets, radiator tanks etc, all made of the same stuff 😂

[@ollieneate7928]

Most common thing on these boilers are heatex and sumps

Not really tend to only see main hex and sump go after 5 +years electrodes/flame sensor/turbine most common issues
