    Central heating F&E pipe

    Thanks, yep, some Sentinel I believe. If the water in the tank gets hot I assume that's a bad thing yeah ? Sounds a lot quieter as well now :) Hopefully I wont be woken up at 6am by the sound whooshing water and air.

    Central heating F&E pipe

    Hi, I've just had my rads flushed and a blockage cleared from the cold feed pipe from the F&E tank. My god there was some oil coloured water in the downstairs rads, so thankfully that's gone now. After satisfying myself that the CH / HW is working without leaks, I noticed that the feed...

    Can of worms?

    15mm copper with a drain cock - 1 of 3 downstairs, so would shift it along to the new rad if needed.

    Central Heating - water gurgle

    Cheers, I'll check the Legionella thing out. Everything was fine before the towel rad replaced an existing rad, so I think the pipework layout is generally fine. Would crap in the system cause the 'gurgling' noises like water / air on a cold startup? My guess is that there is air...

    Central Heating - water gurgle

    Hi, We are running a Baxi Bermuda 552 behind a Gas fire in the living room, a Grundfos selectric pump (3 speed) on a 2-circuit system with an F&E tank. After getting a rad replaced with a towel rail, we have a problem - when the system has been off for a long while, there is a gurgling of...
