    new rad added

    ok as some of you know i have a new conservatory i have been having problems with the rad in there not getting hot.
    I have bled it many times and it was only getting warm.Today after a chat with nao i decided to have another go this is what i done.
    Firstly i shut the pump off,then bled every rad in the house no air was found,so next i swithed on the pump to max shut down every rad except the one in the conservatory,after some 5 mins i bled that rad again no air so i stopped doing that sat down and thought better turn up the room stat once i had done that after a few mins the rad was getting nice and hot so hopefully the job is done.Only time will tell Hidden Content

    Now all rads are back on and all seems fine will need to check pump speed after 24hrs see if i can lower it to No2

    Normally there are 3 to 5 settings on the pump m8 if you have a cold rad and have bled it try what i done it may help all i have to do now is balance the rads out but the rads all get hot just the new one takes some time.

    Thumbs up Re: new rad added

    yep eventually got it working turned off most rads in house and started bleeding again and i could feel some heat coming so kept on bleeding,nice warm rad now and switched rads on again,so the trick is have all other rads off if possible then water pressure is greater at that rad making it bleed easier.
