    ISAR water pump noise

    Hi Found some time to deal with this. Boiler still working but pump makes noise so I plan to replace. I did some research on what pump I need. My ISAR HE30 has serial number starting with WN prefix so according to Ideal it should need pump head part No 170990. I have checked and pump in...

    ISAR water pump noise

    Thanks for response How would I determine if pump head is faulty ? It seems to work in as much as it does circulate water arround the system and it moves. I can try to find new head for IDEAL , all the effort to remove it might be worh to replace head as you say. Do I need new gasket when...

    Air top up valave - I mean this is valve used to pump up air inside the expansion vessel. There is no air inside rads , checked this. Auto air vent also seems OK , when I was filling boiler , auto air vent was letting air out then stopped as water level raised. There are no water leaks...

    Worcester 24i stops atfer start with air bubbles noise

    I am still not happy with pressure changes in the system , when hot it does rise for 0.7 bar, from 0.7 to around 1.4 . Is this within expected changes? the system is only small for 2 bed flat so not huge amount of water i guess. I need to check expansion cylinder perhaps ?

    Worcester 24i stops atfer start with air bubbles noise

    I have resolved the problem so just here to explain the detail. I have used the transparent tube and air vent to blead air from HEX. This was not problem. I have then identified that sump for the condensate is full again and after taking sump out I have noticed that plastic pipe under...
