    Time to replace the Baxi Bermuda 551? What with though?

    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...

    Time to replace the Baxi Bermuda 551? What with though?

    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...

    Time to replace the Baxi Bermuda 551? What with though?

    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...

    Baxi Bermuda 552 gurgling and bubbling. Gravity fed.

    Just been doing some research, I can get a new thermostat 042818 for about £17.98. That appears a good investment and prevenatative cure even if it is not the problem. By draining the sytem (the radiators) will the primary circuit (I keep calling it this I hope that this is the name for it)...

    Baxi Bermuda 552 gurgling and bubbling. Gravity fed.

    Thank you kirkgas, I am worried now. Yes the water is very hot from the taps from the cylinder. I have also turned the black dial from 3 to HIGH on the boiler this evening because I read somewhere that I could dislodge sludge in the heat exchangers if I did this. The bubbles are still there...

    Baxi Bermuda 552 gurgling and bubbling. Gravity fed.

    Hello, Just joined. I value any ones advice here please. I have a Baxi back boiler in the living room inside the fireplace. The primary circuit (from the heat exchangers to the cylinder) seems to bubble like mad and occasionally clatters waking me up at night and irritating me during the day...
