Having read the FAQ's re balancing could someone confirm the following:- Open all the TRV's and lockshields. Calculate the radiator order. When cool turn the CH on. Go to first radiator and almost close the lockshield. Do I adjust to a 12c change even if the first radiator doesn't...

Thanks all, still trying but it is really frustrating :? I finally managed to get a steady 12c drop on the first radiator :D but when I was trying the second, the first has a hot inlet but cold outlet now. Is that right or is it to do with it being the first lap etc? Also, I can't get...

The TRV was fully open.

I'm trying to balance my CH system and have read the FAQ etc. I have opened all valves on all radiators and then turned the heating on. As the water started to warm up I closed the lock valve on radiator number one and then opened it slightly. The temp on the inlet rose to 44c but no matter...

Following on from another suggestion. Some of my radiators weren't even getting warm never mind hot. I have made sure the pump is working and have bled all the radiators. I then put in two litres of de sludging cleaner yesterday. Today I turned off all the radiators to try and push the...
