    Cleaning GB142 Fins

    There are thick white deposits building up between the fins on the bottoms of the heat exchanger tubes of our GB142 boiler.  Is there a cleaning solution that will loosen the deposits without damaging the aluminum of the heat exchanger?  Any suggestions about cleaning are appreciated.  Fred in Lakewood, CO

    Is it a leak or has it not had yearly cleanings?

    The owners manual calls for an annual cleaning and a combustion testing. Find a professional familiar with Buderus and they can clean it with mineral oil, this needs to be done according to the manufacturers procedure though.
