    Assumptions

    At some point air got pumped into the zone. Since it is not pressurized, there is no way to get the air out. Use garden hoses to power purge it. This will deal with the issue at hand, not the ongoing problems it will have.
  • You Should Use

    A Stainless Steel or Bronze circulator, not a regular 007.
