Read MoreAug 23, 2018 · A boiler's circulator pump is used to remove hot water from the boiler, and then pass it into heating devices such as the radiator or a convection pipe system. The power of the pump is enough to cause the water to travel right back up to the boiler from the pipework. Using a circulation pump is a great way of keeping water traveling throughout the system.
Read MoreThe noise itself is usually due to a build-up of sludge in your radiators or pipes, which becomes louder as the pump circulates the water in the central heating system.
