Hello, I have a firebird super Q 85/115 with a Riello G5X burner (indoor boiler) using Kerosene. This year I have replaced the nozzle/flange insulation/flex hose/oil filter... while cleaning out the boiler there was a lot of red debris/dust in the chamber and around the baffles, I couldn't remove the baffles (possibly running at too high a temp warped the baffles), anyway I cleaned any loose debris that had built up using the vacuum cleaner, I have dumped the vacuum cleaner bag and filter when finished cleaning the boiler but there is a lot of red dust in the vacuum cleaner hose!
Question 1: Is there any health risk from the (red)debris/dust inside a boiler that burns kerosene?
Question 2: Can I add a hot water cylinder thermostat to a one pump system and still keep the rads hot? Our central heating systems has one circulating pump with a boiler thermostat, the hot water cylinder in the hot press was running too hot (I have adjusted the thermostat calibration screw to reduce the running temp but will add a stat to the hot cylinder if it works)
