noisy boiler

[jan60]

hi there, i have a worcester heatslave 9.24 bf wall hung combination gas boiler with a wilo smart 25/6 pump. The problem is it sounds like i'm living next to heathrow every time the burners kick in. The pump was new autumn 2007, sentinel x100 inhibiter was put in 8/12/08 as per this site sentinel x200 is on order at TP's, but while i was ordering it a plumber who was in there said that this stuff is not need as boiler dont scale up and that we have the wrong pump on we should have a grundfos 15/60 is he right or does any have any other solutions i would be really grateful as its freezing here Ta Jan

Its difficult to come to any conclusion from what you have written.

There can be all sorts of noises and boiler faults.

Should not be using a smart pump on a combi they are not right for them.
the 9.24 might even have used a 15/50 .
Noise will be boiler not clearing heat away from boiler quick enough on start up,
They do scale up and with the wrong pump in it that could make it worse so still stick the x200 in

One wonders who decided to put a smart pump into the boiler.

The rule is to replace boiler parts with the original manufacturer's part.
