Just had Patrick round to service the boiler, the element was coated in thick limescale, the magnesium sacrificial anode had long gone!!
A quarter of a bucket of limescale was removed from the tank.....only 18 months since the last service.
Now all cleaned and new anode fitted.
Hopefully the boiler will now last a few more years and be a bit more efficient
Regards all
