Ok got a problem with a misbehaving boiler
With the help from a friend i fitted a new boiler before xmas working fine but as the old one rotted i decided to put primary care (central heating inhibitor...........what it says on the bottle hope it makes sense)
As i said had no problems with the boiler up till now even fitted a new rad before the old boiler died so have drained the system a few times before with no problems. Just after putting the primary care in this started?
Now i have a very nasty banging every now and then which i assume is either air in the system.........i have bled all the rads at least twice and all i get is water now .......or could it be one of the baffles (i assume thats what the heavy metal plates in the boiler are called sorry have forgotten)
I don,t see how it could be a baffle as surely it would have made a noise long before now, and if it is air then how do i get it out as i have bled all rads ???
If makes any difference i have a header tank in the loft which i drained along with some of the water from the system then put product into header tank and let it refill itself as instructed on the bottle
Ok just a quick add on it,s an oil fired boiler as well
90/130
Hope this makes sense and you can help
