Good Morning everyone.

I've just recently needed to drain down my CH system to change a rad valve over. However its such a pain in the butt to bleed my system. I live in a very small house and when the boiler turns on, it sounds like on the beach with waves,gushing and gurgling! It happens whenever the boiler is about to come on. Every time I drain the system it probably takes me about 2 -3 weeks to bleed the last bit of air..

Certain facts:
  • I have in total 5 rads in the house
  • 8mm Microbore piping
  • Old Baxi Boiler
  • Open Vent so I have an F+E tank in the loft
  • Rads are hot no cold spots
  • Bled the rads, bled the CH pump and also have an end feed vent cap released air that way
  • CH Pump setting is on 2..
  • X100 Inhibitor in the system
I like being on a beach but really bored of the last few days of every 20 mins or so hearing gurgling, waves etc!

appreciate any feedback

Cheers
