Mixer tap im the house??? turn hot tap on cup hand tightly over spout and turn cold on it should push the air out , may take a few attempts

Do you have a mixer tap ? If you do, put the palm of your hand over the spout, then open the hot then slowly open the cold, it'll force the cold up the hot pipe, keep trying until it gets rid of the air.

No, just the one with luck.

 

[mattycb]

tried every room and got no water in any room so if i do this in one room should the rest work too well logically is this what should happen

 

[dextrous]

Yes - the airlock will quite likely be in one area of pipework only, and when it's shifted, it's shifted.
