i turned on my Alde system to test out the hot water, worked great. The next morning I turned it on for heating and it made a gurgle sound behind the toilet. Once I turned it off, the noise quit. Why did it gurgle??

    @Frost772, The gurgle noise you're hearing is the glychol circulating from the reservoir. Pretty sure your reservoir is located in the "cubby" behind the toilet. (either that, or check fer a stranger in yer bathroom! :o)

    Frost772, check the setting on your Alde pump.  You can locate it under the driver side bench.  It should be somewhere between 1-2.  If set too high, it causes the glycol to circulate faster, may bubble more in the glycol reservoir in the hatch behind the toilet and cause the noise you heard.

    Personally, I think the gurgling sounds more like a babbling brook, and it’s a nice sound to go to sleep to. Music to my ears knowing I’ll be warm.
