[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 520499, member: 250"] Balancing is almost certainly your problem.. But it can also be a bit of a dark art if you don't know the actual way the radiators are physically connected back to the boiler & pump.. To simplify the concept.. Imagine Four radiators equally spaced along a system.. If all valves were fully open the water would take the path of least resistance.. and most of it would flow through the nearest radiator.. (The furthest away may never heat up). So for example the four radiators, nearest to furthest, may need their valves opened to 25% 50% 75% and 100% to give equal flow.. Guinness [/QUOTE]
