worried sick over betacom

[buckley plumb]

fitted the above boiler on sat in a bedroom and when on i could smell water vapour smell - same smell as plume out of flue . gas rated the boiler and analysed it and assumed it was just newness of the boiler and inhibitor spilt on pipe under boiler. got a call just asking to come and look tomorrow as they can smell fumes . on sat I smelt the smell and as I said put down to newness did room co test to be safe and got nothing also co alarm is fitted and that's not gone off . it gas rated ok and gas sound . analyser readings were a bit low but seemed ok from memory co ratio was 0.0009 /ppm 43 / and co2 5% which I thought was low but manual said factory set don't adjust. going to take flue apart to check the seals are not pushed out. I feel so stressed and wont sleep to night now with worry.

This is in the public forum mate, maybe best to move it to the closed forum.

Condensate issue ?

 

[SimonJohns]

Check all of the condense. And check you have water in the trap

 

[gassafe]

Where does the condensate go into? Was the trap full of water?

 

[buckley plumb]

condense run to external drain - along wall internaly 3m then down wall into ext drain . will check trap didn't check that sat

If flue was a mess readings would be making your analyzer ring it's balls off at over 300ppm!!

It's the conny not being filled as others said? It's horrible when u think something is wrong can't rest until it's been checked, well most if u I imagine I sleep like a baby !

Sign of a good engineer to be concerned like this. Need to chill a bit though cos the stress will kill you.

thanks having a beer to chill and help me sleep. checking condense then air test point for 20.6 - 20.9 / and all internal flue and condense connextions before removing cemented in flue
