Just replumbed the central heating system on a long bungalow through the loft because it's leaking under the floor somewhere and I'm sick of the stress trying to find the leak, ripping up the floors, etc.
Few things. Obviously there is a huge amount of air in the system thrashing around and I need to get rid but I plumbed in a couple of AAVs in the centre of the loft. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have either end and middle (loft's 22metres end-to-end). Rads at the far end aren't warming at all. I'm thinking, either massive airlock (and there is a lot of 'standing' air), the pump's not up to chucking the water up the walls and through the loft (although it was fine on speed one before; now it's on position three). Was going to add vents at either end to see if the situation improves. Can you get manual vents? AAVs always seems to leak after a while: not good in the loft.
Thanks in advance.
