[macnab]

Hiya, any help appreciated, old pump burnt out, so replaced with new grundfos! whole system drained and bled, but hot water still wont circulate to radiators, bathroom radiator closest to boiler get's slightly warm and that's it, arrrghh! help a lady in distress, it's doing my bonce in..

Clear the air properly.

I presume you replaced the pump valves if you drained the system?

If you did, are they open fully?

switch off heating system. now fill and vent all your radiators including hot water cylinder (if fitted). on your new grundfoss pump remove the vent plug (on the face where the writing is) when water dribbles out place a cloth to catch and replace vent plug. if you dont vent the pump it can air lock very easily. now try running your system

Thanks guys, will see what happens, return flow seems wrong, there's gotta be air somewhere, sounds like it might end up being a hosepipe flush job!! Will keep you posted!

return flow seems wrong,

the pump is of course the right way round
