I have one in my head, it's called getting a headache. I don't waste money on safety s*it.
It's always behaved like that, including just after a full defrost.

It doesn't have one that I know of. How would I know?
Domestic Hot Water. Heat pumps don't heat it to a very high temperature. Probably enough for a bath or shower, but some are afraid of legionella and what not. I don't know how much danger there is in domestic systems.
Exactly. Bad design.

There is some danger, if the water is warm but not hot enough to kill bacteria, but nice for bacteria growth. Domestic or not doesn't matter.
I checked. These stoves do not produce it, and the room has a little forced ventilation anyway. Blue flame.
They come with a CO2 detector, though. If it triggers, the space is not sufficiently ventilated, so the tiny amount of CO they might produce does not build up.

No CO.
That's for CO2, fumes, and lack of O2, not abundance of CO.
Oh CO gives you a headache all right
I had a manifold gasket go in the motorhome. more than 2hrs driving it was a splitter.
Never happened once I had it fixed
Wrong. A key indicator of a badly burning boiler is a headache.
No one cares about bacteria in their central heating primary circuit.
Yes, it does, because of the CO2 and fumes it generates. Even if it is burning correctly.
CO2 at a couple of percent might lead to shortage of breath, and be pretty unpleasant.
For CO the World Health Organisation reckon less than 10ppm long term.
That's 10 parts per million.
But it's your life.

Unless the level gets high enough to clog things up.
But in the hot water circuit they can be really bad news.

And in the primary there can be leaks, and happen in your kids bedroom.
I don't have hot water. The shower is electric and so are the washing machine and dishwasher.
I think you'd notice the wet floor.
What makes you think kids are more susceptible?
