I have added a rad to my sealed system and since then half the rads in my h ouse are not getting hot, basically those downstairs are cold. The pipe fro m the boiler goes to the upstairs rads first then down to the ground floor ones. I have tried shutting off all the rads upstairs, and then the downsta irs ones do get a little warm. I wondered if its the pump. I opened the ble ed screw on it and on speed positions 2 and 3 it spins, but on position 1 i t does not, would having the bleed screw removed stop it spinning on posit ion 1? Boiler is a Heatline S30 compact about 10 years old. When draining the rads all seemed pretty clean. (If I have to take the pump out to look at might as well change it) Thanks steve
