how do i get rid of an airlock in the cold tap upstairs the downstairs works fine but not upstairs any help?

Answer 1

Fill your garden hose with cold water from the tap downstairs. Turn the tap off but leave the hose connected. Now take the free end upstairs and connect to the offending cold tap and turn it on. Now go downstairs and take the hose off the cold tap. The weight of water will sort your airlock out.

Answer 2

try turn of supply to storage tank empty the tank through the hot water tap down stairs then open the cold tap and hot tap up stairs to drain the tank this should get the airlock out of the cold pipe leave the taps opened and turn on the feed to the tank until the water starts to run then turn of the taps i hope this helps

Answer 3

One way of solving it is to fully fill up the storage tank then turn all taps on and wait for gravity to do its job. Then go around and check each tap and turn off the ones which flows freely first.
If you find those which still have the problem,
screw out the tap and check if the rubber washes are stuck together, it happens quite often in taps left unused or new.
Another way is to pop it with a compressed air canister at any convenient tap point with all taps turned on.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Answer 4

put a short length of hose pipe on the hot & cold and turn on both taps the hot water will push the airlock out

Answer 5

Try blowing in the tap........if no help ..get a hose from tap downstairs to tap upstairs..turn on full blast or let both taps run full on

Answer 6

Open your cold water and put a wet vacuum over the spigot.
