How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Hot water can scald. Use caution when bleeding air.

Steps:

  • Bleed radiators: Open manual air vents until water flows steadily.
  • Check automatic air vent: Inspect the automatic air vent near the Peerless boiler. If leaking or not venting, replace it.
  • Verify system pressure: Ensure proper fill pressure to help move air to vents.
  • Install air separator: If none is present, consider adding a microbubble air separator to improve air removal.
