Hi,
Anyone have any tips water was cut off last night, back on now but the system is airlocked the only water running is from the fresh water cold mixer tap in kitchen. Thanks
 
stick your thumb over the end of the mixer tap- turn both taps on and hold it (tight!) for a while. Should push the airlock back out.
 
Thanks trying that now but only turning cold water on, checked with fingal co council website and that's what it says to do,didn't work the first time so hubbby's trying again.
 
The hot water tap in kitchen did run for about 20 seconds before it stopped again. Sooo annoying
 
you need to open both taps as you have to get the cold to push back through the hot pipe until the air exits the other end. You need to do it for a while as depending on the amount of air in the line it can take some time.
 
Thanks mayobob, your right of course i misread the fingal website. It worked, you saved an argument breaking out in the house, i can go and get ready now for my xmas do. Thanks again happy xmas.
