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.
