Hello all
I have a problem with my central heating system in that one of the upstairs radiators and the hot water cylinder neither will bleed properly. There is always air in them and the radiator will only bleed half way and the hot water cylinder not at all now.
I have a back boiler, Baxi Bermuda 551, which heats a hot water cylinder and radiators. The only water tank I have is a tank that feeds cold water to the indirect hot water cylinder. There is no separate tank to feed the central heating and it is not fed by the aforementioned tank. I am assuming therefore that the heating must be fed its water direct from the cold water main. If this is the case I would assume that there would have to be some sort of one way valve and as the system has been in for nearly 40 years it may have had its day. Before anybody asks, I haven’t got a tank hidden in the loft, it’s a dormer bungalow so no loft.
Is this a system that anybody has come across? And am I thinking along the right lines and if so what will be between the water main and the central heating system.
Thanks for any help.
