    Air being vented into Open Vented CH system, advice

    I got the figure by using a btu to kwh formula. With regards to reply are you saying that my boiler is probably the near max for the rad's I have, also as the boiler stat is set to 3, the boiler stat is incorrectly configured?

    Air being vented into Open Vented CH system, advice

    I checked the air vent with the water cup method and it appears no air is being sucked in. The rads that only heat half way are the furthest away from the pump and the largest I have flushed the system and tried to balance the system with x400 however this did not resolve the issue...

    Air being vented into Open Vented CH system, advice

    I'm confused the air does not appear to be coming from the air vent in the loft. I've had it tested and no air is coming down. There appear to no leaks anywhere. Just can't figure where the air may be coming from. Any ideas chaps?

    Air being vented into Open Vented CH system, advice

    I think the pipe work is ok just the pump is two strong on setting two for 15/60 pump. The reason why I added the bigger pump was that I have two rooms that have quite large double skinned rads and they only warm up half way the bottoms are cold so wanted a bigger pump to warm the bottoms...
