    Gas valve filter repeatedly blocked by thin silver debris

    No, not at all. I'm just trying to understand why it's happening & what started it. I appreciate all your comments so far. Very helpful. I will be taking it up with them as I'd not even heard of this before they turned up. I find it hard to believe that I should have to pay for something that is...
