sandalwood Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi. Anyone know how to get rid of an air lock in the water filler pipe. My IH has a big air block and I have to put water in by stages. Irritating. Tks to all Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It sounds like the tank either has no breather or it is blocked. Can you check around the top of the tank for signs of a breather? Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laimeduck Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Put a short length (18 -24 inches) of tube in through the filler point when you fill lo act as a breather. I use a bit of old beer pipe about 10mm OD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpyman Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 See previous suggestions . Have you dump valve which maybe slightly open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My IH has a big air block and I have to put water in by stages. Irritating. Tks to all Ian Can you actually see the full length of the water filler pipe between the filler point and the tank? Might it be kinked or flattened somewhere, or might it be excessively long and have been looped during installation to form a "U" bend? You seem to be describing back pressure, or simply a sluggish flow. Either suggests that the pipe is somehow obstructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
