Hi, I was woken up about half an hour ago by a strange noise coming from my airing cupboard.
The hot water is set to come on in the morning,which does normally make a bit of noise, but today I heard what sounded like drilling. When I had a look in the airing cupboard, it sounded more like a washing machine :(
The noise was coming from what I think is a pump, big brown thing with a pipe coming in, and one going out. It has a small black box on the side witha knob you can turn to marks 1, 2 and 3. This was set to 3. I turned it down to 2 and the noise was less, but still that kind of scraping noise. I've now set it to 1 and it sounds perfectly normal.
What is this thing? I assume it's about time it was replaced. Roughly how much would they cost to get replaced? are we talking £50ish, £100 ish, or £200ish, or more :(
Thanks for any advice, and sorry for the poor description, I should still be in bed :(
