Possible Causes

Faulty automatic air vent, Negative pressure in system drawing in air, Micro-leaks on suction side of pumps, Inadequate deaeration equipment

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Vent air carefully to avoid hot water burns.

  • Check automatic air vents: Inspect and, if necessary, replace air vents on the Danstoker boiler and high points.
  • Inspect pump suction: Ensure no leaks on pump suction lines that could draw in air.
  • System pressure: Maintain correct static pressure to prevent air being drawn in at high points.
  • Install or service deaerator: If not present, consider adding a deaerator; if present, ensure it is functioning correctly.

Persistent air problems may require a system design review.
