Rads

[PassionForThePipe]

Its a sealed system, gas boiler....
I bleeded all the rads, upstairs have great heat but downstairs is pretty bad... any idea on what is wrong??

 

[John506]

Sludged rads?

How long since system was cleaned & chemicals added?

 

[crockett]

Possible airlock ?

 

[PassionForThePipe]

I say it has'nt been cleaned in bout 5 years... pressure is just below 1 bar, could that be a fault too... looking for the fillerloop but cant seem to find it

 

[John506]

Yes it well could be the problem..

Have a good look for the filling loop and bump the pressure up to 1.5bar

 

[John506]

Filling loop should be under the boiler.

Or is it the key type filling?

 

[PassionForThePipe]

theres defo not a filling loop... how else do i fill it???

 

[gas4you]

Check your pump is working.

As you appear to have a standard sealed system, look for the filling loop where the red expansion vessel is or in the airing cupboard.

 

[PassionForThePipe]

coming off the boiler theres a connection with a lever valve on it... no filling loop i can see... can i get the pressure up to 1.5 bar if i connect the mains into that lever valve

 

[gas4you]

Yes, if you have 1.5 Bar or more available from your incoming cold mains.

You may have the filling loop stored away somewhere?

 

[PassionForThePipe]
