Me too!  I'm anxiously awaiting the end of this story.  I'm just finishing my first year with the Optimizer 250 and would like to know what the issues might be.

I believe i know a bit about this problem boiler and if so it is not a PM 250 but instead is an older conventional boiler  and was severely oversized for the application. if i am right then not only has this person been made an offer to repair it but also an offer to upgrade to a new boiler. as i see this one the boiler was never sized properly resulting in constant condensation inside the boiler from lack of demand and overfilling my suggestion to those of us who choose to burn wood is do not oversize your boiler for future use and do not constantly overfill your boiler
