Ai in system

in THE MAIN WALL
I just had a new gas boiler installed in my 35 year old hi-ranch with 3/4" copper baseboard. The only way to bleed the air from the system is at the boiler is by two small canister type auto air vents. The problem is that I have air in the system. Every time the boiler comes on you can hear the water rolling thru the baeboard. The plumbler has bled the system by opening the drain and filling with fresh water. the problem is solved for a short time. I feel that the water distills and gives off oxygen, thus creating the air problem. The pulmbler hasn't figured this out and wants to install an "air sweep". What is giong on and what is the solution?

    He's talking about

    an air separator and he's giving you good advice. It's a sort of strainer for the air and it should help solve this problem once and for all.
    Retired and loving it.
