I have a boiler with 3 zones. 1 off the TACO and then 2 more that are split in their own zones. I purged the 2nd floor zone as the pipes were rattling like mad and there are no bleeder valves that I can find on the baseboard radiators.
1 zone is supposed to be 1st and 2nd floor of the original house. Zone 2, 1st floor addition, zone 3, 2nd floor addition.
At first it didn't seem like their was water coming back into the system. Now I can't tell. I have heat throughout the house and can hear water gurgling.
I tried to bleed the radiators in the old part of the house and water comes out on the first floor, but just air on the second. I am starting to wonder if they aren't fully closed loops, maybe the returns aren't zoned?
My worry is that the pressure gauge shows no pressure, but I have heat. Is there a way to tell if there is water and manually add if necessary? Don't have the $$ to get someone out to check the water for a few weeks.
Thank you!
