Hi I have a 30 year old oil boiler and a back boiler with a pump also. Last night I had a big fire on and had pump on but I could hear the sound of boiling water in the pipes near fire place. I took a look in attic and the small tank which had the water for the heating system was bubbling and steam rising and there was water around it as if the tank was boiling over. This water is very dirty. I turned on the hot water and let it run. I turned off everything and let the fire go down.
I will be calling a plumber today. Is it that the pump was not working ? Is is something else? If the plumber does not come today will it be safe to turn on heat or light a small fire.
Thanks in advance for advice.
