Think it's a water issue, as tried to drain pump and no water came out (from bleed screw or drain plug)
Its undoubtedly a water issue i was just thinking of a safety issue
Thought I'd post an update
Cut the cold feed, bailed out water from f&e tank and washed the inside and vac'd it up with my wet&dry. Here's a pic of the crap that came out
Next I changed the feed pipe to be lower
Found a drain valve passing water, this is why
System finally filled up and running, still took forever for heating to warm up after bleeding. Going to put some cleaner in, and let it run for a week before draining and adding inhibitor.
Opened bleed screw on pump and water dribbled out very very slowly, still think there's air in system or a blockage. Got a small leak on pump gate valve as well, think rubber o-ring has gone
Was thinking of hiring a power flush machine to clear out the system, or refilling and draining a few times, any suggestions?

Am I able to add a magnetic filter, if so where is best?
Thanks
