Brown sticky residue inside Ideal Logic

[mcniven]

Was working on said boiler and I noticed on the inside there was a small puddle of thick brown residue, there was no visible leak from pump or anything else either, if never seen this before.

I should of took a picture, anyone ever came across this nah.. lol

I'm talking thick.... Like honey

I've seen that inside a few boilers. Haven't a clue what it is and its never bothered me because i haven't got my csi ticket :lol:

What did it taste like? 😉

 

[Ermintrude]

Is it organic? I.e a sulphur or is it man made? Brick dust? Could the flue have been greased with something other than silicone grease?

Had it myself pal on a logic plus 35 had the mirror out, mystery, cleaned it up and will re check it looks like inhibitor when it comes in contact with air

did you use fernox inhibitor?

 

[sputnick]

Have to agree with Ambrosia, logics aren't bad we've fitted about 100 and only had one breakdown, early days. Haven't come across any brown goo yet whilst servicing.

 

[Ermintrude]

Been fitting them for last few years 4 I think might be 5. Fit minimum of 2 a week some Times if we are all on the go its 20. Breakdown is about 3% ish by comparison Baxi duotec GA was in excess of 90%!

did you use fernox inhibitor?

Yeah the f1 can be a sticky substance I use it when I've had a leak on a rad the pipe is all sticky. I do rate fernox though.

Heres a pic

Ps there is no leak at pump

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

that looks like fernox,its either come out of the aav or you have left your toffees on the pump
