My parents had a Baxi Solo3 (60) boiler & circ pump installed and also 3
TRV's fitted to the bedroom rads as part the government grant scheme. The pipe system is about 30 years old (I think it's the old one pipe system) feeding 8 radiators in the bungalow. None of the radiators have lockshield valves fitted, just the radiator valves fitted to one side only. Everything is working great and all radiators get hot but the problem is there's a lot of swooshing noise travelling through the pipework when the radiator valves are only slightly open or when the system is only on HW. It sounds to me like there is too much pressure been forced through the pipes when the rad valves are closing. The pump is on the lowest setting (1) but still louder than the old pump which was a Grundfos whereas this new one is from "Circulating Pumps Ltd" - (CP53) I was reading about the Grundfos Alpha+ pump and was wondering if this would be a better pump and fix the problem as it automatically regulates flow and pressure to suit the conditions and eliminates noise in the system. Any thoughts welcome TIA |
