Hi,
I've not been able to find anything similar so hope someone is able to advise.
12 months ago I had my open vented heating system converted into a unvented system due to a loft installation.
Recently I noticed that the boiler was making interesting noises...
It's summer now, so the system is only heating water in the cyclinder.
The boiler will come on as per timer, as water is heated up, it begins to hiss / sizzle / whistle - this will continue increasing in pitch until it is constant. The boiler then switches off (whistle continues in decreasing pitch) - a couple of minutes later, the boiler switches on again and the music repeats itself.
Is this kettling / build up of limescale in the H/Exchanger?
I'm not sure whether the plumber had descaled or added any inhibitor to the system when he did the conversion. I do know that the system was emptied several times. Should this be done?
How do I get descaler / inhimbitor into an unvented system?
Thanks
