combi boiler squelching noise
My non-condensing boiler (vaillant) makes a squelching / kettling /
air bubbling sound when its running the stay-warm feature (for quicker hot water etc). However it does not make this sound at all when heating water or the central heating. Anyone know what it could be ? Cheers, Simon. |

I have never used the stay warm feature on mine seems like a waste of energy/money Is it an always on or timed feature (mine would be always on) ? |

Cheers, Simon. sounds like it is operating for far too long and boiling the still water in the manifold. |

I'll see if the noise starts after a short while or straight away. Simon. |

I fact I thought it was, but the feature seems to be running all night now (every hour or so it comes on). Maybe I need to look at the programme. Simon. |
