Hi Andy, yes magnaclean. The installers came back yesterday and tried balancing the system but to no avail, I,ve been having ago this morning since my last post and I think I might have cracked it. We have been running the new system from a lounge located wireless room stat which I was advised...

Hi,I posted something similar yesterday,my 12 tube 1800 x200 rad ran fine on a 26 year old micro bore system until I had a recent boiler change. Done the balancing thing pressure running hot at 2.2 bar but still very cool. Gone from open vent system to sealed system. I,m thinking that during...

Only changes to pipe work since rad worked fine is in garage to boiler and in airing cupboard to connect mains pressure fill point,also pump removed as one now in boiler. Re both valves getting hot, first one together hot is at TRV then return side but not as hot as some water is circulating...

Sorry forgot to add, only one tapping for bleed valve which is at top and two for bottom flow and return. Thhanks

Had a vaillant ecotec plus 615 fitted recently only for economy reasons. As the system ran well on the old classic balanced flue unit,this was a vented system.All good with new sealed system except the bathroom vertical rad (1800 x 200 12 tubes @ 25 o/d) will barely warm up. Shut every thing off...
