Hi there,
I purchased a home a year ago and I noticed late last winter/spring that 3 of my 5 rads were not producing any heat. Today I tried bleeding them. The two that work let out a little air and drops of water. The other three that are not working let out a little air and no drops of water.
I suspected that the water pressure is low. We live in a one floor bungalow with the boiler system in the basement. I checked and the PSI is showing around 10. I read that 10-15 psi is what you need, so I'm not even sure if pressure is the problem. The other issue I have is I'm not sure what water valve I turn on to add pressure. I've attached a couple images of my system, and would appreciate any advice and help people have to offer!
Thanks!
