I'm wondering how the photo helps, apart from getting more hits for the
advertisers?

Does that stuff really work or just bung up the works?

The site funds itself that way. Not the fault of the poster except for using
such a naff portal to Usenet.

Well it works in my system, it slowly descales any crud in the boiler
and instead of loud bangs every now and again you get a gentle fizzing
sound as the boiler reaches max temperature.

That's assuming the problem is not caused by something like thermostatic
radiator valves closing down and no bypass valve has been installed.

The OP has given insufficient detail about when the problem happens. How
long after the heating starts does the problem occur? Minutes? Hours?

That's a result of localised boiling in the boiler. And that results usually from failure of the pump overrun, clogging of the system, closure of all valves or failure of the boiler stat. It can also be due to scaling in the boiler, but that would be the result of some other problem.

Where to go from here depends on whether it's always been that way in midwinter or whether it's a new thing this year.

A lot of folk here block messages from the website you're using. You can access news:uk.d-i-y on Google groups or with a newsreader app.

It used to work in my old cast iron lump Mexico... needed a dose every
other year, and it made it significantly quieter.
