Central Heating Nightmare - Air in System Daily

So, almost a month later and no improvement?, think you will have to be more proactive, I would drain it all down, flush it a few times, install the Spirovent, fill it up with no inhibitor, see if the air stops venting after a reasonable period of say a week or so, max, then re introduce the inhibitor gradually.
 
About 1.5 bar I think, it goes up to higher green zone when running
Still puzzled.
What's your main problem, the air build-up, or that the house isn't warmed adequately? For the latter, possibly the pump is clogged up with muck, and it might be worth checking. No need to disturb the pipework, just remove the head - 4 Allen-head setbolts.
 
Yes nightmare. Feels like one of those things where in the end it will turn out to be something stupidly simple that has been overlooked. Is the water coming out of your cold tap full of bubbles?
I don’t think so, not that I’ve noticed..

Issue is that one or two rads will have really poor performance - lukewarm to touch - bottoms of some rads lukewarm - can hold hand on them. Plus lots of gurgles, clicks, whooshing noises which do my head in and stop me using certain rads as they wake me up!

Performance varies. Sometimes it’s pretty good, but when I do my ritual of bleeding I’m reminded at how good the performance can be. It’s ’ok It’s warm enkugh’ vs ‘I’m going to die unless I open some windows’. Basically meaning most of the time I’m paying a lot of money to heat very slowly.
