the system might be drawing in air,or it could be due to the system being sludged up.has it always been like that?if yes,then it could be a design fault.check the pump speed,turn it down if you can.you might need to get the system flushed.

Rocky hit it on the pinnacle, yet while that's in basic terms the 1st floor radiators and not 2d floor, there is yet another project. that's probable in what's stated as a zone valve, this is probable siphoning no be counted if that's unsuitable. All radiators must be bled as quickly as a month during the heating season, using fact the fill valve shall we in minute air bubbles each each now and then from the exterior water grant.

there might be a variety of reasons for air getting into your heating system in the first place and for some reason it is getting trapped in your bathroom radiator probably it is being encouraged because of bad pipe work. one thing i have found in the past l is an automatic air vent which as it sugests automaticly bleeds air when there is a build up (much cheaper than changing pipe work)which replaces the manuel air vent in the top of your radiator which can be purchased at Grahams or plumbase for a price of around 6 -10 pounds by turning of the radiator on its valves you can fit it without draining down.

As suggested, you have a leak in the system, or the pump is drawing air into the system somehow, have it powerflushed, if no leak is found, have a leak sealer installed, whole thing should be around £350 - £400 unless you use British Gas, then take a mortgage out!

Because this must be the highest radiator and heating the water releases oxygen from it. Eventually you will not have to do this any more. Unless you have a leak someplace.

Perhaps the bathroom rad. was installed first, before the others, and it needs replacement. Anyway, a plumber would be able to remove the 'air' from the system for you.

We had exactly the same problem we had to flush out the heating system with a cleaning fluid. Apparently it was due to sludge in the pipes, no problems since.
