Hi all

was at a customers today and he said he was always bleeding one rad up stairs....

all the others had water in and sure enough the rad the customer had complained about had air in it?

It was not on the negative side of the pump and had no leaks.

any ideas on what would cause it
 
not unusual to get one radiator that seems to catch the air going round the system.
what type of system is it?
is it air, or hydrogen being produced?

New boiler but extension still not hot
Hello, We had an extension built seven years ago. Initially the builders' plumber connected the heating to the house system but this didn't work. The builder got him out again and he created a separate heating circuit from the boiler (ie one circuit for the house, the other for the extension)...
