[quoteWhat’s the point of pressurising a heating system? They’re enough trouble under normal head of water.[/quote]
for the hot shower, nice blast of hot water, comes in handy for washing the bike with warm water with an outside hot water tap 8)
But that’s my house, where I have a vented system, the picture of the rad is in my GF’s which isn’t and only has a combi.
Just for clarification, the system has a Baxi Combi boiler, it shuts down at 0.4 bar. The house is a coach house, basically an apartment spread over the top of 4 garages and the staircase is at the end of the house, the leaking rads are both in that area, one at bottom of stairs near front door and one at top of landing. I think they’ve been overtightened and bust the o ring now I’ve looked at them.
My own house is around the corner and built by the same builders Bloor in 2007, and before I bought this 2 years ago I rented one the same. All three houses have had the same issues, central heating stat’s failed, all have two rusty radiators in hallway and bathroom and rads leaking.
Questions:
Where do I put the leak preventer?? No header tank to pour in into, just pour it into the radiator when the caps off??
When removing air from system, do I do it from bottom upwards or reverse, with heating on or off??
Thanks for help guys
