    If the noise gets progressively worse within a half hour of turning on ,you need to have the system flushed.

    The warranty on baxi's is void if the system is not flushed on installation.

    Flushing is basically adding a cleanser to the heating system ,let it circulate in the system for a couple of weeks. Drain the heating system down and add inhibitor.
    This problem will gets worse when you don't flush. You could call an engineer out and they would know if it needs to be done.

    It could be ,thats if it's the actual problem. The baxi system boiler is prone to this problem and especially if it was fitted to an existing system.
    Other reasons for it to happen would be a new installation in a hard water area.
