HELP
I have a rattling sound in my heating system which seems to be coming from the C/H pump. it only happens when the C/H is on and then it is intermitant. I have tried turning the pump down but it only has limited effect. It stops it for a short period of time (2 mins) and then starts up again
sometimes the noise dosent happen at all and it only seems to happen when the system is warm.
could it be the barings and i need a new pump

would think it sounds(pardon the pun) promising

Nah, barings went bust in 1993 due to rogue trader, nick leeson, I would contact ING who bought 'em for a pound

 

[kevplumb]

[kevplumb]

[kevplumb]

[breezer]

oh, i don't know, i had to sweat (joint) for ages untill i came up with that, how ever it was driving me around the (U) bend I was almost at the boil (er) point, but i thought, no (thermo) stat is it.


here is one for you.

why is a boiler called a boiler, since if it does boil, you are in trouble

 

[kevplumb]

generic term
proper name is gas fired heat producing device
same as rads are called heat emitters

 

[breezer]

proper name is gas fired heat producing device

I bet oilman would disagree

Like radiators don't radiate.. they're convecting devices ? Sorry , I'll pipe down.
