Buderus GB 142 gray particulate in condensate trap

in THE MAIN WALL
I have a GB 142 that went in as a replacement boiler 3 years ago.  It uses the old galvanized pipes to heat baseboard radiators only.  The copper boiler pipes interface the galvanized branch lines via dielectric unions.  It uses unconditioned city water.  I did not clean the heat exchanger or the condensate trap last heating season but I did the summer before.



   I opened it up after a summer of it being off and noticed a small pile of whiteish gray particulate in the condensate trap.  Is this something to worry about?



TIA

Keith

    This is normal

    Nothing to be concerned about. The stuff you clean off the heat exchanger. It's just found it's way down into the trap.
