Hi all. Got a few of these boilers coming up to 4yrs old and want to know if anyone has used something other than the recommended service tool which costs £57?

Fancy!
I can't remember the last time I cleaned one as its rare that I find one with flue pressures out of range and wouldn't do it as part of a basic service.
I have a selection of generic brushes and blades that I use.
Reign do a few heat exchanger blades.
Obv the right tool would be best tho.

I did wonder about them, but we don‘t “service” boilers, only safety check, and most of our Worcester stock has been replaced. Is this any good?

I was at Worcester earlier in the year, you can buy the tools from them cheaper than that.

Some lads use mini pressure washers and even the Worcester trainer said some of their guys use them. Another thing they use is vinegar and bicarb in particular with the ones with baffles.

Yep 1-1 ratio

Yes, a 24kW will be fine - just what you need.
