Plumbing Forum,
I'm after some guidance as to what may be causing a problem with our hot water system which randomly started last week. The system is six years old and has been regularly checked and maintained.
Whenever we turn our water heater on and it calls for water from the header tank in the loft, the 'cold feed to water heater' pipe gets very hot and there is a loud 'gurling' and 'whooshing' noise from this pipe although this is not constant. Our water is still heated as normal and the central heating is functioning normally but this noise is really annoying - especially as the airing cupboard is in our bedroom!
I've attached some pictures of the mid-position switch which is set to 'auto' and the green water pump which has a small black box set to position No.2. The cold water feed pipe is the one with the green water pump fitted to it.
I know very little about plumbing so before I call someone out I just want to know whether this is a major problem or one that I can rectify myself. I have not changed any settings so I have no idea what has caused this annoying issue.
Many thanks if anyone can give me any guidance,
Bort
