Possible Causes

Circulation pump on Viadrus furnace stuck on low speed, Air trapped in radiators, Clogged system filter or strainer, Incorrectly set mixing valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow system to cool before bleeding radiators or opening filters.

  • Bleed radiators: Starting with the highest radiators, use a bleed key to release trapped air until water flows steadily. Monitor system pressure and top up as needed.
  • Check pump speed: Locate the circulation pump and verify its speed setting. Increase one step if the system is large or distant from the Viadrus furnace.
  • Clean filter: Isolate and clean any Y‑strainer or magnetic filter on the return line. Remove sludge and reinstall.
  • Mixing valve setting: If a 3‑way or 4‑way mixing valve is installed, ensure it is not set too low. Adjust gradually while monitoring radiator temperature.
