That happens when you're draining water out of the radiator, by opening a drain valve -- if you have one -- on a valve on the bottom of the radiator. If you have not opened any non-bleed radiator valves, water from the central heating pipes (the pipes that connect your radiators to the boiler) flows into the radiator once the bleed valve is opened - as air needs to escape to let in more water, until the radiator is full.
@@paulwoodcock764 that'll be it then! Make sure when you repressurise boiler, you go back around bleeding all the radiators again, but checking boiler pressure regularly and topping up as you go, as pressure will drop as water enters radiators. If the pressure keeps dropping even once radiators full and boiler's pressurised then you may have a leak. But hopefully it'll be fine. Best of luck. 👍
Thank you, it's nice to know how to take care of your radiators instead of waiting for someone to come and do it for you. I will watch your video on the boiler next, I thank you for all your help!
Thanks for your feedback Kimberlee. That's exactly why I do the videos. Most jobs a very simple when you know how but quite costly if you get someone out to do it for you. Really glad you find my videos useful and thanks for watching.
I know how to bleed a radiator with what but there was no water coming out of my nephew's taps, toilet isn't filling up. Only after I'd removed his nasty old, old sink and replaced the pipe work to it so that he has shut off valves. I went to test them and nothing. The downstairs kitchen sink is working find. I thought must be air opened all the taps. Still nothing. Then because he has a tank in the loft I thought maybe the radiators needed bleeding. That's when I smelt gas coming out so shut it straight off. I thought about it and I think it's actually helium but I don't know and still stuck as to why no water to anything upstairs. HELP. A video would be even better. Thanks 🙂
Hopefully you have solved your situation by now. As FYI to anyone who may be reading your comment: central heating water (very hot water that powers your radiators) is normally completely independent and separate from the rest of the mains colt/hot(ish) water i.e. taps, toilets, washing machine, dishwasher, etc. The pipework is not meant to be joined between these two systems, so most of the time one system won't be expected to affect the other. A possible exception is when your boiler has been switched off, not working, or not filled: in which case in the worst case there won't be hot water in your taps until the issue is solved. Cold water should continue to run regardless.
Thank you... you are God sent
Thanks for watching again!
Yet another excellent & logically explained video from Mr Pouse.... Thank you for posting.
No problem Jim, hope it sorted your cold radiator! Thanks again for watching.
But... I always have arguments in my house and say whether you should turn the boiler off before bleeding the radiator then turn on again afterwards?
Is it possible that air can be sucked in?¿?

thank's to you i've got my boiler up and running and all radiators bled. Once again thank you.
Great news Peter, glad to have helped. Thanks for watching!
went well on bleeding, but now the boiler is making a strange noise when you run the hot water . any ideas please ?
Have you tried repressurising boiler? I've done a video here - ruclips.net/video/0kKRc2zDODs/видео.html
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE thankyou i,ll take a look
Checked the pressure and the boilers running on below zero
