Hello and thanks everyone. The Baxi Bermuda starts bubbling after a minute or two from initial heat up from cold and continues to gurgle quite rapidly occassionally resulting in a kettling clatter, which resonates throughout the CH pipes. Does the fact that I only have four of the rads in the...

Thank you for the suggestions. My main concern about the powerflush is that the exchangers as well as being fairly scaled and gunged up with iron debris sludge may also be pitted inside. I believe that the problem with mine is that there is localised boiling, which after a flush may still be...

I have a 22yr old Baxi that is kettling and I reckon the heat exchangers need replacing. It still chucks out great heat and it could probably do with a powerflush too. These could end up being costly plus after installation of a new system the boiler would be cheaper to run. I have been...
