Sorry presses send by accident
hi there,
Haven’t posted in a while but please looking for any advice/help.
Installed a new vertical column rad recently downstairs, drained system as usual, filled system back up and now about 3 rads aren’t getting hot downstairs (downstairs rads are on drops) I tried to balance the system thinking the rads couldn’t achieve the correct flow now I installed the vertical
Rad, but when I did this the cold rads got hot but others started getting cold, if that makes sense, am I balancing them wrong?
It’s a pressurised system, it does have a small single manifold that supply’s underfloor heating in a conservatory, but the heating all worked fine before. Could it be the pump that’s not strong enough with this new column rad?
I’ve now got a problem with the furthest 2 radiators away, they’re not hot but the flow pipe coming down the wall is hot, so could it be a blockage? Lockshields and trvs seem fine I’m sure.
Tbh I’m hoping it’s a blockage or air, but just wondered if anyone had any ideas.
Many Thanks in advance
