Thanks for the offer Roger. At this stage I am going to block of the hot water circuit through the water tank. All it means is I cant have a hot shower which I rarely use anyway.
The next trick is to flush out the coolant out of the drinking water tank.
I am thinking I would use a cup full of bleach in a tank full of water and flush 3 times.
Do you or anyone else have any thoughts on this? Greg
