I am the GC on a job we installed 2 years ago. 5 zones. 1 is turbo max, 1 controls lots of radiant, 1 basement baseboard (old existing zone), 1 st floor, mostly new baseboards, and 2nd floor - we added 1 room on to loop. All were working fine except the 2nd floor. the pump kept loosing prime. We and our lumber have been back a few times. installed a Spirovent on that zone immediately after pump (all pumps are pushing) , Installed flow checks on both sides of the loop (after spirovent and on the return before it ties into manifold) this is Zone 1 on the header. Every time we went when customer called zone was calling and pump was on. No water circulating. Today - I just bled out about 1 -2 gallons of water and then it starts to fully circulate. We are all at a loss at what is causing this. the boiler was running at 20LBS when hot. i pushed up to 25 today. house is 2 story with boiler in basement. We 2 #30 expansion tanks. Pressure relief valve has never blown off yet. Any ideas on why this zone keep s getting stuck. Have changed pump 3X and it is probably not defective, Have a 010 Taco on there now. Please help!
