Hi
I have and OFCH system

The timer is a dual timer where you can control the water and storage separately
Over last few weeks I have noticed that when the water heating is on that its very noisy in that you can hear the water rattling through the pipes and can hear a gushing or surging sound

Not using the storage/rad heating during the summer and just turning on the water heating on the timer when need hot water

Any thoughts on what could be wrong or how to fix it - could it be air trapped in the system ?

Thanks

If it's a pressurised system check the gauge to see if there's any pressure in the system ( I suspect not)
