Possible Causes
Faulty automatic air vent, Micro-leaks drawing in air, Incorrect pump position or speed, Low system pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the system to cool before bleeding air vents.
- Bleed system thoroughly: Bleed all radiators and any manual air vents on high points.
- Check automatic air vent: Ensure the cap is slightly open and not blocked. Replace the vent if it leaks or fails to release air.
- Inspect for leaks: Small leaks can draw in air when the system cools. Look for staining around joints and valves.
- Maintain correct pressure: On sealed systems, keep pressure within the recommended range to minimise air ingress.
