Tech/Engineering - Real Estate | | French term or phrase: bouilleur | "Le bailleur fait détarter régulièrement les bouilleurs individuels. Les frais de détartage sont à la charges du locataire".
However, this follows another clause that says, "Le locataire doit contrôler et entretenir les appareils de chauffage individuels et leur briquetage avant toute mise en service, vérifier le remplissage des installations, entretenir, décraser et graisser les chaudières et les calorifères..."
I had elsewhere translated bouilleur as "boiler" (couldn't see how it could be a distiller), but in the light of chaudière, I'm hard-put. This is Swiss French, does it refer to any specific part of the heating installations? |

a "bouilleur de cru" is a distiller in French/France.b Bouilleur used for boiler is clearly a Swiss expression. We don't use that in France. |

| Grading comment Thanks, all. Sorry to say I didn't get news about this. I thought (as Bourth suggests) one type would be smaller than the other, but later reference seems to invert which was which, making them practically equivalent...
