Great info thanks

[@jimrudolph1582]

I’m thinking of a system for my cottage, pex under the floor and a electric water heater. I would like to use antifreeze in the system as it won’t be used for parts of the winter and subject to sub zero temps. Is the set up the same as a water filled one. In terms of pumps and air separators etc?

[@TanweerAhmed]

Good and informative

[@alexl5656]

Does this particular air eliminator need piping to a floor drain? Most air separators are piped to a drain but it’s my impression this style does not spit water

[@airmech5083]

very good presentation

[@gangelo777]

Thanks for your video. I have a Supervent Air Eliminator. Does the boiler need to be on when refilling the system with water after a purge and work have been performed? I performed the old method for refilling and bleeding air from my lines, but there seems to still be air in the system because my heat output simply isn't what it should be. This is a completely new heating system, so I suspect there are't any part failures, just that I'm doing something wrong.

[@jrbrooks5171]

Any luck? I also have a supervent and can't get rid of lots of air.

[@Tmacademia]

If air gets in the system (like when a valve is replaced), will the air eliminator be able to get all the air out? Or do I need to flush the entire system?
I just had a system flush yesterday, but need to replace a valve that's leaking

[@PEXUniverse]

It might be best to do both if you are worried about a lot of air getting into the system!

"Rust is another name for iron oxide."
Not quite; Magnetite will form before rust, in a heating circuit.

So would you use an air seperater on copper pipe system

[@markboccetti5657]

Yes, here in the UK we mainly use copper piping for Domestic systems, and the RV2 (Spirotech.com) Deaerator is used frequently. [e-mail] if you need assistance. We are based in America as well, but the products are then female threads as apposed to the compression used here.

[@heathmeetis9962]

Yes, air is a problem not only for iron but also often times for the pump / circulator. If there is too much air the circulator can get air locked and it basically wont push water at all.
