Am i right in thinking the pump is sucking as is?It’s good practice to put air vents in if the boiler is above the pipework eg drops down

Umh...it must of had its fair share of air by now....Yes once full of water will be fine
Ah right interesting....You can see from the diagram below anywhere the pipework goes upwards it should have an air vent (marked with an X). Radiators are massive catchments for air with an air vent. In theory
In the real world you can get over small high spots (such as floors being out of level), specially on a sealed system as its easier to clear. I'm one for never ever putting one in but I've seen tons of systems where some plumbers don't care
The second photo shows a system where no additional air vents are needed
Someone has said, he wouldnt of plumbed it as its been done, i mean it works...but the poumt if this was to a, get better hot water pressure, and b, make the sytem moreb efficient....so i would like this to happen rather than have a system that isnt rightI wouldn't worry. Will only likely cause a problem once drained again and will take 2 mins to put a vent in there when you do
