ransley, you will just never get it right.
you dont put one in every room afterwards. If it was put in properly
from the start you would already have them along with what I mentioned
at the boiler.
Do you have any idea what it costs to have a tech come out, drain the
system entirely, solder in one of your hack wizardy pipe stubs, refill
the system and then purge the air from it? NO, I didnt think so. Guess
what? It still wont work and now you just paid a butt load to have
your shit idea installed. Now what? Have them come back, repeat it
again with another pipe installed at another high point? You piss ant.
You havent a damn clue what you are talking about. Try installing
boiler systems for a living for a while then come back and tell me
what you still dont know.
.........and that System 2000 you rave on so well takes about 2
seconds of looking at that opening page to let anyone know it is a
POS! Way too many better well known brands that I would trust my money
to.
Go pedal some snake oil elixer ransley you pud.
