Our mains water was off a couple of weeks ago - during which time I made sure I did everything they said regarding not running taps, then what to do when the water came back on.
Once the water was on, I ran the cold tap in the kitchen as instructed.
The first time I ran the hot tap, there was terrible gurgling noises coming from the boiler.
Then, when the heating went on, it was gurgling again.
The pressure when cold has dropped down to 0.5bar, though it goes up to 1.5bar when the heating is on.
I phoned the gas man out, but unfortunately, the heating was on when he came and he said it was fine and the gurgling wasn't air in the heating, but just an air lock going through the boiler.
But the pressure shouldn't have dropped, should it? And I don't understand how the mains water being off would affect this - or is it maybe just coincidence?
Does it sound like air in the central heating?
Thanks all,
Alison
