I have what seems to be a very common problem with loud noises coming from my bolier so thought would try and get some answers if anyone can help me.
It is a Gas Boiler which is a Wickes one (stop tittering!) and is an open vented system. The noises are either a rushing of water through the pipes or load clangs like someone hitting the pipes with a hammer. The upstairs rads are always full of air, we have to bleed them nearly daily or they are cold. The system has been flushed out. The pump is on setting number 2 speed. One thing i have just noticed is that whoever fitted it has put the connections the wrong way round so that the return is going in where the inlet should be. Would that be likely to cause all the air i am getting in the system? Also the cold water feed and the expansion pipe are on the return pipe before the boiler and the pump is this ok as have read some where that it is not.
I guess it must be sucking in air from some where as we have to bleed rads nearly daily.
Any suggestions would be most gratefully read and acted upon
