Bleeding air from old hot water system
I have old circa 1930s/40s? Baseboard radiators that always seem to be full of air.
I bleed them at the valves and it is OK, but it only lasts for a day or so, and then the darn things are cold and I have to bleed them again, what's up? Sometimes when I bleed them only cold water comes out and it seems like no pressure in the system. I just shut the valve and pretend that it is OK and usually it is?
I think I have some problems with my well system and my pressure tank not functioning properly. I was wondering if that might somehow be letting air into the system?
I don't seem to have any leaks, at least not where I can see any evidence of them, on the floors, plaster, etc. How else to do you check? Pressure test?
Anybody have any experience using a Rannai instant hor water heater as a boiler? I just put one in for the upstairs bath and it is pretty slick. I see in their catalog that they can be used in that capacity but I would like to make sure before I take the plunge.
