Noisey Potterton Puma

[andyc2000]

I just had my boiler serviced and they replaced the fan. This does seem to have improved pressure in the upstairs bathroom. But it still very noisey when running. Sort of a load gurgling?? Anything else that would cause this? And is it actually a problem?

Thanks

Are you sure they didn't replace the PUMP ?

 

[andyc2000]

Nope it was the fan.

How did the fan improve circulation?

Maybe they pipe the bogger up to the primary flow

God knows, I'm not a bleeding plumber - boiler seems to working a bit better, perhaps that was the result of the service - how the heck should I know? All I asked was what is likely to be causing the noise?

Well in that case you will probably be none the wiser when I tell you the auto air vent is probably blocked!

Why not call back the engineer who replaced the fan?

And you needn't assume we're bleeding stupid. the fan affects the gas/air not the water.

OK a sensible suggestion, cheers... I will probably call back the engineer.

I didn't for one minute assume anyone was stupid! Presumably the fan is on there for some reason, such as making the boiler work better? I guess it's there to improve the efficiency of combustion?
