I have a Worcester/Bosch Danesmoor 20/25 on 'conventional' diameter piping (ie; not micro-bore), feeding through a Honeywell mid-position valve and a Grundflos Superselectric pump, feeding 2 hot water cylinders and 16 radiators, over 2 storeys. The boiler is about 12 months old and the Honeywell valve has just been replaced (after 20 years), pump is about 5 or 6 years old (I think).
My problem is the system constantly has air in it. There's a screw bleed valve on one hot water cylinder and that always releases air and the highest rads usually have air in them. The system has been like this for some years now and I previously thought it was the old boiler that was starting to corrode/die. However, it's the same now we have the new boiler. Any ideas please?
As an aside, the last 2 rads on the system will only get hot if I carefully restrict the flow to most other rads. Is this a sign of poor design or too small a pump or what?
Hope someone can shed some light on this please?
