After some advice please.
I had a new 3 port valve fitted in October 2023 after the previous one started playing up (not working for heating only)
Last week the valve started to intermittently not come on when called for heating only (works fine if water is on too)
Once water reaches temp and...
We had a new ball valve fitted to the cws in the loft (old one was making noises)
Since then I have noticed I can hear a whooshing sound from
The pipes when water has been used and it is filling. I believe this is normal?
What I have noticed however is that the ball valve seems to...
The cold feed and vent is before the pump both pipes are next to each other up into the loft.
F/E pipe is 22m but converts to 15mm as it enters the loft
So there is no water coming out of vent pipe when system is running (stood and watched it for a bit) but it does have condensation when I look in f and e tank. When pump starts it seems to draw a bit of water from f and e tank as can see movement and drips from cold feed for a while
Had...
I am sure this has already been answered but a quick trawl of the forum hasn’t found anything so hoping one of you lovely heating engineers can give me an explanation.
So many posts say if you have a radiator that needs constantly bleeding and lots of ‘whooshing’ noise near the pump it is...
I have a strange issue going on with my f & e tank. I will try to give a detailed account:
We had a constant drip into the tank at the beginning of jan and obviously we assumed we had a leak.
a leak detection company was employed and they found a leak using trace gas under the kitchen...
WBRacing,
Let me know if you ever work out what the problem with your boiler lockout is please.
I have exactly the same issue, our outside wall hanging grant boiler keeps intermittently locking out at start up but fires up normally. I have had various parts changed all of which make it work...
Immersion definitely not on.
I have tried to upload a video - hope it works.
If you have nothing constructive to add to this thread, please don't bother.
I have not posted on here to enter into some childish playground banter.
can anyone help me work out why my hot water cylinder is making crackling noises?
It only happens when hot water is on and only when hot water has reached temperature, not when I first turn it on. As soon as it turns off (on reaching temp) the noise stops
As well as the strange cracking...
Thanks guys,
I have trip switches.
It is due a service in July so am going to bring it forward and ask for a total check of the whole boiler (as if new install) and the oil line as have had my fill of oil boiler problems.
Hopefully the new control box will shed some light but I am not holding...
Me again.
Well I had a new grant boiler fitted in June 2013 and it worked great for 2 years.
Alas it started locking out in October 2015. A grant engineer came and fitted a new control box and it worked until February 2016.
Grant checked the old control box and couldn't find any faults with it...
I have bled all the radiators and they are all letting water out. The pump seems to be making more noise though, like a drumming sound rather than a hum. I have checked the bleed screw on the pump and there is no air but a little bit of water came out which I understand is to be expected.
I am...
