Have a 3zone hot water system.I have blead off all the zones of air about a month ago and and every thing was running very quietly.Now I have air again in the system. This is an ongoing problem I have had for several years.Is there some type of air eliminator that can be installed in my system to take care off this problem?

    Some fundamentals

    1. Pump away from the expansion tank.
    2. Pump away from the expansion tank.
    3. Install a "microbubble resorber" type air eliminator. Scrub brush in a vessel. SpiroVent is one of the best known but Taco and others are getting into these also. Makes ginger ale go flat in one pass...
    4. Use a diaphragm type expansion tank. No air or gas sees the water.


    The above assumes you have purged the system of bulk air at start-up.

    In another thread, Mark Eatherton suggested an ounce of dish soap per 50 gallons of system volume to keep the air in suspension on the way to the air eliminator.
