Hi all,
I've got 2 situations that I'm thinking of pumping out central heating ...
The first is a property in which there is a combo boiler with rads on the ground floor, and a rad in the basement. The system needs draining for renovations. The drain valve is on the ground floor. Would it be possible to attach a pump to the HIGHEST point in the system and pump it out?
The second situation is a house that has one non working rad. It would appear there is an airlock just before the non working rad that won't budge. Could a pump be fitted to the top of this rad to suck the water through and release the airlock?
Anyone done this?
Thanks!
Huey
