some on here may remember the problem of the kettling rs250. well today I did some gas consumption tests. this has flagged up a possible cause for the slow heatup, kettling, and crazy temps on the bottom of the heat exchanger but no where else. ive checked the manual and as follows: min gas...

I've got a Vaillant EcoTec 415 which has been getting noisy as it gets up to temperature - it's a moaning/whining noise which starts off quiet and gradually gets louder. From what I've read, it sounds like 'kettling', but I'm not sure why there would be a problem with build-up in the heat...

Hi folks, You may detect the weary tone of someone who's at their wit's end with this problem, so apologies if that is the case. I've been living in my present house for circa 14 months. It has an gravity-fed central heating system with conventional layout of cold water and expansion tank...

ok I got slapped for dising Gas Safe engineers last week. ill start out by explaining I wasn't having a go at the people on this forum, just the plumbers I have had direct experience with in my locality. sorry for any offence.

ok had a new unvented tank fitted and system changed from gravity to fully pumped. initially the plumber connected to the original gravity connections on the boiler and got the flow and return the wrong way resulting in trapped air, probably in the heat exchanger. anyway that's been sorted...

Hi guys, I'm working on a combi that every time you put the hot water tap on and then switch it off again it keeps on burning, the temperature keeps on rising and makes a lot of air bubbling noses. The expansion vessel also has been dropping so I'm guessing that need re pressurising or a new...

Hi, A customer of mine has an original solid fuel Rayburn Royal which just heats up the hot water. Problem is he is frequently getting hot water flowing out of the hot pipe vent into the cold storage tank in the loft. As I have no experience with Rayburns I was hoping somebody might have an...

Hi. I've been working on this Alpha cd18r heat only boiler with f&e tank and separate pump on a micro bore system. They have had real problems with scale and have had a power flush before. The boiler cuts out and red lights on the front appear, and this is preceded by a banging or kettling...

Had my warmflow combi looked at before xmas and it worked ok for a while, previously it kept tripping the hi limit. it then stopped providing hot water after a short while after tap is opened. Engineer changed mixer, non return valves cleaned/checked flexy pipes and the overpressure and bleed...

Serviced an external vortex a few weeks ago, no problems. Custard rang back a few days later to say there is a nasty stain on the wall next to it...I returned and lifted the lid, found the air vent has been letting by (surprise surprise) obviously for some time. I closed it off, job done...

I'm currently running some Fernox F3 round my system. Its 14 year old vented system, Ideal Classic boiler and has never had any kind of powerflush or chemical treatment. It's been noisy with air/?hydrogen for a while now so trying the chemical route. No cold spots at bottom of rads just air/gas...

when you have a system that needs flushing and the boiler is kettlin what cleaner do you recommend for a gravity/mains flush? and what success have you had in the past with boiler silencer chems? i was thinking x800 left in for 2-3 days and then x200 or F2 if needed.

Hi everyone Great website and a very good reference point for the lay person and pros in some cases thanks Need some advice please The Kit 1. Make: Potterton Netaheat 80e about 20 years old 2. 2 Room Thermostats (Honeywell DT90E Digital) each covering half of the house (Heating in...

Hi, I know this has been asked before but I rent a property and less than a year ago British Gas did a complete power flush on behalf of the property owner. British Gas are also used by the property owner to undertake repairs and maintence. They serviced the boiler and put in a new Grundfos...

Long story short, had an old Danfoss 102 control on my 25+ year system, it died and replaced it with a Danfoss 102e (direct replacement but digital version) All working fine over the winter, but when we recently changed it to Hot water only the pump never seems to fire up. If I set it to Heating...

Hi Guys, I have an issue with a baxi solo 3 kettling after around 30 secs. Ive changed the pump as it appears to be a circulation issue, ive cut out the cold feed and expansion to check for blockages...(None). Ive removed the heat exchanger which appeared to be very clean inside, flushed it out...

hi all:waving: went too the above boiler today and the hot water would run for about a minute and then trip off for about 20 seconds and then fire up again! the central heating works fine any ideas???? thanks

Morning gents... just a quick bit of advice sort. when the boiler is on and has reached temperature there is a slight banging in pipework and noise of kettling near the boiler... I'm assuming that the pump over run has stopped working or something. it's not the mid pos valve as there is no...

hi guys im a newbie here and looking for some advice - i have a vokera linea 24 combi and for the past six or so months has been making a noise which i believe you guys call kettling - now this noise is not constant it is intermittent and stops when the hot water is run so im assuming its on c/h...
