Alde Compact 3020 HE system

I would describe ours as more the pipes groaning, rather  than loud clicking. However, I don't think it can be cured. It is simply the pipes and joints expanding as they heat up. It is more noticeable at this time of year when the pump goes on and off a lot. In the colder winter months it is on a lot more, and the fluid foes not cool as much. I suppose reducing the heating temperature to 1 kw would cause the pump to remain on longer and therefore you would have less heating cycles of the pipes.

Just returned from our second trip in our new Lunar Clubman SI with Alde heating system.

Just getting to grips with all the gizmos / switches and electronics on this new van. However as a newbie to caravanning  the one thing I can't get my head round is :

If, on the Electrical PSU,  I have the water heater totally switched off, with only the space heater switched on then  why do I get hot water that I wasn't expecting or asking for ? The Alde control panel is switched on but only for heating.

The water temp is really hot too. Is there anyway I can adjust the water temperature?

I'm suspecting that it is overheating ?

Is this normal for an alde system?
