Possible Causes
Insufficient bleeding after filling, Automatic air vent failure, Low system pressure drawing in air, Micro-leaks on suction side of pump
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Be cautious of hot water when bleeding radiators.
Steps:
- Bleed radiators: Starting with upper floors, open bleed valves until water flows without air. Close valves and top up system pressure as needed.
- Check automatic air vents: Ensure caps on auto vents near the Buderus furnace are slightly open to allow air release.
- Maintain pressure: Keep system pressure at the recommended level to prevent air ingress.
Persistent air problems may indicate a leak or failing air separator that should be addressed by a technician.
