Hi All
Would appreciate some advice;
Open vent CH system with FE tank with hot water system (also has an immersion heater) with Ideal icos he15 boiler, Grandfos Alpha+ pump and 4 rads upstairs and 3 down stairs.
Recently my parents had the boiler resited just a foot away from its original location in the Kitchen; since then every so often there are violent nioses from the attic where the FE tank is and it seems there is a lot of air being rushed through when the heating is turned on first. Also theres constant bleeding required of two upstairs radiators (Bathroom and master bed). When I first bled the rads there was some black water but now the water seems clear but there defo loads of air building up over time. To add to this I cleaned ut the FE tank which had loads of gunk in it but the noises persistant including water trickling noises in the rads every so often usually temporarily resolved by the rads being bled.
All of this started after the boiler was resited and whats got me a little confused is the piping to the boiler; I can remember that the supply and feed pipes before the resite, crossed over each other as they entered the boiler, now they both come straight down from the ceiling and run parallel into the boiler as is. Also there was some sort of filter or valve that has been removed and never fitted back (possibly to stop sludge debris getting to the boiler).
Finally my question - could this "Plumber" have crossed the supply and feed to the boiler? if so what would the symptoms be? I have been told that the boiler would simply switch off but thats not happening. Or do I just need to get my system flushed.
Oh and the so called plumber doesn't want to know...
Many Thanks in advance.
