I have an Ideal minimider SE50 about 5 years old. After some recent problems I have started taking some notice of how it is behaving and find that it produces very little condensate (about 200 ml per day) even when set low (2 or 3 on the dial). If you listen at the flue about 2 minutes after starting you can hear a gurgling sound which must be condensate within the heat exchanger. If set to high the gurgling is much less which seems to make sense as less water is able to condense at the higher temperatures. My question is: is gurgling normal, and how much condensate should I expect if the boiler is working normally?
I should add that there is no blockage in the heat exchanger or condensate drain - I have had it all apart!
