Hello,
my heating system has been running for just over a year now. By chance, I recently noticed discoloration on the flow meters, see picture.
I filed a defect report with the general contractor, stating that the heating water appears rusty/sludgy, as evidenced by the flow meters. Their response was a casual statement that some discoloration on the flow meters is normal to a certain extent and that if there is a serious malfunction of the underfloor heating, it will of course be fixed.
Do your flow meters look like this as well?

We can’t afford to have the pipes replaced because, as mentioned before, the floor would have to be removed to expose the pipes.

I need your opinion on this pipe.
Does it rust through from the inside? It looks strange, doesn’t it?

Is your heating water clear now?

cinderella2112 Feb 2019 19:46Hello everyone,
Due to the water damage, we now have a rusty staircase (the water was leaking exactly between the white wall and the stair stringer).
What do you think? Is the rust coming from the rusty pipe and the water escaping, or is the staircase itself starting to rust?
In the end, the hallway upstairs would need to be opened up to replace the stringer.
Thanks for your opinions.
