It looks like the providers of these boilers are refusing to warranty them because of lack of maintenance, I don't blame them. But larger commercial cast iron boilers are not totally destroyed by hard water, their controls are, which are expensive. There are chemicals that can restore a boiler but the costly controls must be replaced, so someone is finding a loophole on the warranty.
