This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. kzitem.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

THANK YOU!!! I had horrible gurgling bubbling sounds. Getting error codes and no hot water or heat. I did this exactly as you said and no error codes and the unit is so quiet. It was so dirty when I took out the condensate trap. I believe this was holding all the junk in the system and water which cause the bubbling noise. Thank you so much.... I don't need to pay $175 for a service every year either as I will do it myself! Great educational video at the perfect pace.

Thank you for a very useful video. I watched it once, and then downloaded the Navien "User's Information Manual" from the corporate downloads page. I watched it a second time while looking through the manual. Considering how expensive the unit was to purchase, the extra bit of time seemed well spent. The manual does suggest inspecting and cleaning the "Strainer" on the space heating side. I guess I'll try it when I attempt to clean this unit. My unit has isolation valves on the boiler side between the unit and our floor manifold, so those will be closed too. The video is a great walk through and great confidence builder for a home owner, thank you.

Very well presented videos. I clean multiple units once per year but I like to watch your videos prior as a good reminder of the correct steps. I do have a question if possible on my Navien CH-240 unit. On the hydronic side of the combi unit it has a strainer. I took that out and cleaned it and the residual water drained out into a bucket. I was shocked at how rusty and oily it was. Not sure if that's debris from around the burner or something that's inside all the hydronic heating pipes. You mentioned that the hydronic side shouldn't be descaled. Should I instead bring in a plumber to drain and clean the hot water heating lines? Many thanks.

@@jamestrezza5788 I ended up draining and refilled the hydronic heat side. That was a year ago. I just descaled the domestic hit water side and then cleaned the filter on the hydronic heat side. Once again the filter and inside of the valve in the hydronic heat side was pretty greasy/darkened with grime. I cleaned it up and put it back in. A plumber friend didn't seem concerned. The combi boiler is 10 years old and has been pretty reliable.

Good informative video! For a combi unit do you need to flush out both the domestic hot water and central heat exchangers? In other words do a one hour flush for each the domestic hot water and central heat? The central heat pipes are usually 1" versus the 3/4" for domestic hot water. So how is the central heat side flushed?

@JoshuaGohan24
3 жыл бұрын
I had the same problem when it was first installed. There was 2 things i had to address. One was the Exhaust and intake were a little too close to each other once they exited the house. I believe the code is 12 inches apart if im not mistaken. We had it like 9 inches. So we then changed the angle so it could have a total of 13 inches apart. The other was making sure the exhaust PVC pipe is pitched away from the Navien. (not towards) because that water from the exhaust has to drain away from the navien and drip towards the exit of the house. We did these both changes and now it works fine.. Good luck

Mine also flashed the 110 code. Our unit was 4 years old and I had no idea they had to be serviced. When I removed the air intake filter at the top of the boiler it was pretty plugged up with dead bugs and poplar fuzz (I believe this was the problem). The white distillate cap at the bottom also had a bit of sediment in it. The cold water intake filter was clean (little black tubular filter at the bottom of the boiler). I cleaned those 3 things and unplugged the unit for an hour while I performed the flush…. when I plugged it back in, the code was gone and everything works fine again. After 4 years without a service, there was next to zero scaling in my system or on the cold water inlet filter. Going forward, I will flush it every 4-5 years but I’ll be servicing the air intake filter and distillate cap every year which maybe takes 5 minutes. This entire process too me 1-1/2 hours and 1 hour of that was waiting on the vinegar to flush the boiler. Saves me about $500/year on a plumber and it only cost me a one-time cost of $110.00 Canadian to buy the sump and 2 washing machine hoses. I’m an older fella and I gotta say… I friggin love KZitem for stuff like this as well as the folks who take the time to make videos like this!
