Hi there,
We have an issue with our Gledhill Torrent thermal store (installed 2012) which is linked to a wood burning stove and a combi-boiler.
A radiator TRV was damaged and we called a plumber who, we think, has drained the whole system. He's completely re-filled the system (?) and we believe this has resulted in an airlock from the central heating flow to the pump. There is very hot water coming into the first few inches of pipe from the store, yet the rest of the pipe to the pump is cold. The pump is on and we can hear it working, but no heat is going to the radiators.
Can anyone help on how to get rid of this suspected airlock please?
One of the strange things about the piping from the central heating flow to the pump is that it has a U shaped design, dropping approx. 8 inches below the level of the pump. It seems that this design would increase the risk of airlocks???
Any help VERY much appreciated.
