Hi Guys,
Let me apologise in advance as i know you must have been asked this a thousand times. I have searched the forum but i have discovered a few conflicting answers so i would like to be certain.
I have a Potterton Combi Boiler feeding 8 rads. (4 up 4 down). Downstairs in order of utility room then kitchen then dining room then lounge. Upstairs is bathroom then landing then spare room then master. The upstairs rads all work fine though the bathroom one has been the first to suffer if there is a pressure loss on the system. Downstairs is the problem, utility and kitchen both get red hot, dining room warm/hot lounge nothing at all. I didn't bother working on this until this week as i wanted to replace both dining room and lounge rads which i have now done. At the same time i discovered and repaired the leak that was causing the pressure loss. I have turned off all rads except lounge and this has forced hot into it. I am now trying to balaance the system but at not getting anywhere fast.
Could someone please give me an idiots guide to balancing my system?
Thanks in advance.
