Is this enough water in my hot water heating system?

Question

I have a gas hot water system, due to a leak in the line we had to drain it in order to fix the leak. We refilled the system after the repair and kept bleeding each baseboard until some water would come out. We were able to do this in all the rooms except for one. Just wondering if this going to be ok. Seems to be heating great but I'm kinda a worrier.

Answer 1

Do not worry!!! Nothing is going to blow up or spit fire like a dragon. You have a little air in the system and eventually it will be out. Let the system run for a few days and then while the pump is running try the bleed valve in the highest room from the basement. Take a small can or jar and open the valve for a quarter to a half turn If you get some air let it come out until you fill the cup with water. Now dump the cup and if there are any more on this level do them all. Now go down to the problem one and feel it for heat. If none try bleeding it some more. I assume you turned the water to the automatic feed on.

Try this a couple of times. It's just a matter of burping the baby. Once it burps it goes back to sleep. Quit being a worrier. Your heating system is safe and no danger in the waiting. I am a worrier also. I worry that people take the advice of some of the answers given

Answer 2

That air might go through the system, depends on layout, and either collect at a high point or continue to circulate. If the baseboard you didn't bleed gets hot the air left it. You don't want it going through the pump. However you can hear it when that happens. It will gurgle for a little while and then run quiet again. If that happens turn off the pump and try to figure the high point it goes to and bleed it there.

Do you have radiators or baseboard and why are bleeding them? what's the stress in boiler? And in case you have water interior the growth tank you have different subject concerns. And bear in mind maximum plumbers do not bypass to college for heating.
