Noisy Pump Issue - Central Heating

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.31 PM

Hi, landlord installed Viessmann vitodens 100 19kw Dec '2019. Since then the pump has been very noisy when on, constant vibration through pipes, loud enough to wake me up in the mornings and you can hear it downstairs. They sent an engineer out, he was useless as had no idea about Viessman brand, he seemed to think it was a fault with the boiler which i disputed as you can clearly hear the vibration from the pump! The other thing i noticed is that the pump has been fitted upside down, pump has been set to ii. Any idea what could be causing the constant vibration, i have Bled the radiators and there is no air, no leak(although the water tank valve is currently dripping). Vibration will die down for maybe 2 weeks then start again. Any pointers appreciated before i go back to the landlord How do i upload a picture? It's a conventional boiler not combi, therefore pump is needed.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You need to check if the pump is driving the water the correct way if not it will invalid the warranty on the boiler .a picture of the installation would be useful

This boiler doesn’t need external pump as it has one internal for central heating.

The best bet would be to get someone to come and look at it again, but ask the landlords permission as you don’t want any expensive repair bills.
