Hopefully quick question around whether I need a plumber or I can fix this myself.
Heating is working but only on upstairs radiators, we also have hot water in the tank. This is a standard old school pumped system not a combi boiler.
I was thinking it might be a jammed pump or airlock, have bled all the radiators and they’re full of water. Pump is definitely running, although I suppose the impeller might have sheared off? I’ve noticed there is water dripping from the air relief valve thingie (technical term) and the pump sounds a bit aerated. I think I could probably just slap a new valve on it as there’s a cutoff for it, which could then let the system self bleed if it needs to? Or am I just talking twaddle and I’d be better off getting someone who knows what they’re doing out? Any advice much appreciated
It’s clearly been dripping for a while and needs changing:
