kettling

Hi all! I had a new Viessmann boiler installed in February this year, they preformed a full power flush etc according to the manufacturers instillation specification and the I staller was manufacturer approved. We've recently been using the boiler and it's making a whiring noise (kind of...

Greetings all. I'm after a bit of advice as we have an issue with our HW kettling and on closer inspection the wiring on our 2-port Valves looks a little suspect to my untrained eye. Background: The house was built in 2001 and has an 'S' CH/HW System installed. If the HW is on and the CH is...

Hi all I'm looking for some advice / views please. I have an old (installed 2000) Potterton Kingfisher MF RS50 boiler that has developed an intermittent fault. My system is gravity fed with a cold water tank and header tank in the loft and a single zone switch which - I'm told - is why I can...

Under boiler there are 3 motorized valves, 2 for heating and 1 for HW. The 2 heating valves are wired together into stat (as there arent seperate zones...

Hello I have a rather old, traditional but thus far reliable heating / hot water system. It has evolved over the years and now consists of an Ideal Mexico Super 2 (awaiting its annual service), 11 radiators (2 storey house), a copper hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard upstairs, cold water...

This is a problem we had a few years ago and the British Gas engineer replaced the flue fan. Now we have the same noise and the British Gas engineer now says it's "kettling" and recommends we get a new boiler or flush the system. It would cost £1000 to flush the system, I don't know if this is a...
