I've a client with a rusty 20yr+ old Certikin 180 (44kw) oil pool boiler that needs changing. Certikins replacement looks like it is the exact same boiler. It has a riello r40 burner and non condensing 85% efficient boiler... Oftec say it wouldn't be compliant and would have to contact Building control for permission. Id rather put in a more efficient condensing boiler.
Any one with any ideas of a suitable modern oil boiler for a pool and pitfalls to look out for. Are off the shelf boilers easy to adapt to add a pool heat exchanger.?..
 
When replacing an old Certikin 180 oil pool boiler, it's a good idea to consider a more efficient condensing boiler. Off-the-shelf boilers can often be adapted to add a pool heat exchanger, but it's important to ensure compatibility and proper installation. When selecting a modern oil boiler for a pool, look for models that are specifically designed for pool heating applications and meet relevant efficiency and compliance standards. Consulting with a heating professional or contacting Building Control for guidance can help ensure compliance and identify any potential pitfalls specific to your situation.
