My earlier suggestion was to re-fit the pump upside-down temporarily the isolation was so that you could do the re-fitting without getting too wet. You want the final fill pressure in the 12-20 psi range generally. After the water stops flowing turn off the.
I have a Laars Hot Water boiler closed-system which was operating ok but I needed to replace a pipe in the system. This is direct heating of the water by either a the immersion or b the boiler. Now screw a 18 inch NPT ball valve on to that nipple.

Water fill valves and automatic air purge vents are designed to maintain efficient operation during regular use. Once you drain or flush your hot water tank it needs to be refilled before you can turn the power and gas back on to the unit.

Now screw in a standard coin air vent into the top of that nipple but dont use any teflon tape or pipe dope. Water should be slowly flowing from it. Flushing the hydronic system is important.
When hot water is drawn from the tank it is replaced by cold from the cold tank which in turn is fed to the boiler. Remove the highest elevation air vent in the heating system and screw in a 18 inch NPT nipple.
At the bottom of.
Water fill valves and automatic air purge vents are designed to maintain efficient operation during regular use. I am now about to start filling the system with the fluid which has been checked as pH 89 and all good. The hot water is simply stored in the tank. You might have had repairs done for which you needed to drain the hot water heater. When hot water is drawn from the tank it is replaced by cold from the cold tank which in turn is fed to the boiler. Open the valve until you can hear air being drawn in as the heating system drains. I drained the boiler by hooking up a garden hose to the unit opening the drain valve and then opening up all the bleeder valves on all 5 radiators theyre all on the same floor at the same. Once you have done this you can repeat the process for all of the upstairs radiators too. Hi in this video I would like to show how to fill boiler when the pressure goes down.
I would shut off the auto fill once it is purged. You want the final fill pressure in the 12-20 psi range generally. The hot water heater could have had a leak and the water level is low. Once you have done this you can repeat the process for all of the upstairs radiators too. Youll find the main system tank in the basement.
