i thought so. u cant flush it with water u need to clean it properly by dissolving the iron oxide inside the heat excahnger. to do this go to the plumbing merchants or ebay and buy senteniel x800 jetflo cleaner. now boil a kettle of water and find a small bucket. fill the bucket with the x800 cleaner tub. then add the kettle of boiling water. then put on rubber gloves and put the heat exchanger in the bucket. leave it in there for two minutes. then while its in there after two minutes shake it around turning upside down. then remove it upwards so the water drains back into the bucket keep doing this for around 10mins then just wash it out with clean water and refit the heat exchanger to the boiler. if the heat exchanger is to badly blocked then u will require a new one on ebay u can now get chinese copies of them that are just as good as vaillants for half the price
