I have a plumber on the way. But for the sake of my education am I right in thinking this is what happened? I drained the system, inserted the fluid and refilled. This put air in the system in the form of tiny bubbles. In this state the system worked for 4-5 hours because I turned it on...

Tried bleeding the pump but no joy. No sign of air or water. So decided to drain down again and refill very slowly by manually operating the valve to see how it went. Noticed the header tank wasn't emptying. Put my hand in and pulled away a lump of gunge from the outlet . It started emptying...

Hello, I'd appreciate some advice if there is anyone out there who can help. Although not a professional I am a fairly competetent DIY amateur. Yesterday I replaced our old Triton shower (which had started leaking and which was at least 16 years old it was here when we moved in) with a Triton...
