letting the water out, I'm bleeding the system (draining the whole thing) I've done this quite a few times in the past and these are usually the very first to drain. All Rads are empty except for those. What do I do? Both upstairs & downstairs effected. I think these maybe my problem with the...

I give up that failed. the pump is defo pushing the hot water through. But its not getting to the rads. I think the hot water is working though. I think I'll have to bleed all rads and see if that does the trick. Not good when you've got a baby in the house!

ok now switch on hot water. Leave the valves as they are..

Ok round 2.

hmm.. no i didn't. I guess now you want me to repeat it again. both valves or just the one for the hot water/bath rads?

pipes not getting hot. f knows whats going on.

Ok done. What a mess the hose came off in the process. I've now switched on only the hot water. Lets see what happens.

Anyone?

Do I need to drain it first or just stick the hose in there and turn it on.

Yep all the ones downstairs. I only attached the hose to one of them.

Found it was just going to take a picture. You mean the one at the boiler end. :0-

Ok turned both on at the sametime, remember the rads in the bathroom are connected to the hotwater also.

I may actually try this. So use the hose pipe from the tap, attach the other end to the rad bleed valve and turn on. Can see this getting water everywhere :(- Do I need to empty out the system again?

I turned the cock stop off and that stop's the little tank filling up. We have quite a few rads 12 in total. When I bled the rads I do it from the one near the bolier. But if I were to take the hose pipe and attach directly to the other rads on the ground floor then its like they haven't...

:oops: It was working before. S Plan. (when water on does the rads in the bath.) When heating on does the other rads. Conventional bolier system with Cylinder. Potterton Kingfisher 2 Groundfos pump. I seem to get this everytime I empty the system, but have no clue how to get it back...

Put rad back on today after decorating.... Vented all air from rads, all rads full of water. Went up to the attack bled the mini screws. bled the water pump, its pumping & hot. In the attack the 32mm main pipe is hot but I guess what you call the flow is cold. Any ideas don't want to...

lol, I'll get a a picture later.

By the small tank the pipe connected to fill it up also has a tap to fill it up even quicker I presume direct water and pressure to the rads, rather than letting it fill up gradually. Is this the case and if so should I be using it? I'll be putting my rad on soon as decorating is nearly...

All good but now I have balancing problems, it was meant to be easy...! But at least I got the water and all Rads bar 1 is working. Trying to force the water through by turning the other rads off at the valve. :roll:

You mean turn the valves off on the rads? If so no, should I next time I put the Rad back on as its bound to happen again and should it be both valves or just the one side.
