I HAVE A 25 YEAR OLD HOT WATER BOILER. ITS MAKING POPING NOISES, LIKE SHOES IN A DRYER.  WE THINK ITS MINERALS ECT.   LIKE A HOT WATER HEATER.    CAN IT BE FLUSHED AND A CLEANER SENT THRU SYSTEM?  THANKS TOM

    Shoes in a dryer

    There should be very few calcium deposits in your boiler, as it is a closed system, unless there is a leak which the valve automatically adds water to compensate.

    What make is this boiler? What has changed since the shoes began to make noise?--NBC

    Boiler noise

    Thanks for reply. Its a utica. Last year system was opened to replace a section of baseboard. And thats it. I agree its a closed system. There are no leaks in system. No loops under ground. Should i drain it and add something
