Hi Lunat - thank you for the reply... 1. The flow & return pipes are not excessively hot. I think the boiler stat is doing what it should and the boiler is not overdoing things - tomorrow I'll go through the boiler diagnostic checks just to be sure. 2. I see your thinking on fitting an air...

I've left the boiler drain point as it is as I don't want to break it. I did however find the boiler air bleed and released some air. The circumstances of noise in the boiler pipes is now as follows Noise occurs only when the boiler has reached and is maintaining temperature. Noise is...

Thanks for the reply - you seem to be having far more trouble than I - you have my sympathy! Hopefully the design of my system can remain unchanged. Having bled the radiators today, removed only a little bit of air, then read your post - I am starting to think that maybe there is debris...

Hi Lunat, Still lots of noise tonight. The noise in the pipes going to and from the boiler sound likes rushing water just like there's lots of air in the pipes. Its noticeably worse once the house stat reaches temperature and water is only flowing through the hot water tank coil. Its ok...

Hi Thanks for the advice. I bled the system last night and removed air from two radiators. I can still hear what sounds like bubbles in the pipes to and from the radiator. As you advise I'll put the pump on its highest setting and bleed again in a couple of days. Ta

Installled a Stuart Turner Monsoon 1.5 bar on a paving slab in the loft. The pump is amazingly quiet and can barely be heard within the house. Less noise than the central heating pump. So all good

I can hear air bubbles in the pipework going to from the boiler. How do I rectify this? Air bubbles can also be heard travelling through the pump. The system is GF. A new pump was recently fitted (last 2 weeks). The system's been gravity flushed from drain points around the house till...

Thank you for the replys. I've googled munsen and school board clamps and can see that these will support the pump/pipework far more solidly than plastic clips. As pointed out I'll use wooden blocks to fill the space between pipe and wall. Thank you for the advice... Cheers Graham

My pump has failed today and I'm going to fit a replacement. The pump is currently unsupported by pipe clips suspended in the pipework which is unfixed apart from its connection to tank and heating pipework going away from the cupboard. There is a fair amount of noise coming from the pump...

Pleased to hear the lights won't dim - this was my main concern - well that and whether you can wire such an appliance onto a lighting ring. So, if I break into the lighting ring, conveniently situated in the loft where the pumps going to go, use a switched/fused/rcd outlet, all will be fine...

Steve, Thanks for the reply. I may have been misleading you with my description. On the immersion fused switch a second fused swith has been added to supply a distribution box that distributes supply to the central heating control box/boiler/pump. Therefore the 2.5mm T&E 16A supply...

I hope the shower pump is not as loud as 70db. The equivalent of a vacuum cleaner in the loft is gonna sound pretty bad and I will be disappointed if its as bad as that. I am going to mount the pump on a concrete paving slab as I read somewhere this helps prevent resonance and I may fabricate...

I am thinking of making use of the 16A tripped supply in my airing cupboard for a shower pump. The only thing is a previous owner of the house has been there before me and taken two fused spurs off the back of the immersion fused outlet supplying the central heating boiler & circulation...

Thanks for that - I can't help thinking that you get what you pay for as is the general rule in life. I have gone for a Stuart Turner Monsoon albeit a secondhand unit off eBay. I am hoping it will be serviceable with maybe the need to give the pumps a clean and fit new impellers. Am keeping...

I know this subject appears frequently in the forums but I can't make a decision. I need a positive shower pump that is quiet - Choices are based on what is available online and from local suppliers Techflow CT45-2 Salamander CT-50 Monsoon Showermate 1.8 Can anyone advise which is...
