I have a 4 bedroom house (1986) with a Netaheat 16-22 boiler and 13 radiators.
I have replaced every radiator and radiator valves throughout, only the bedrooms have TRV's.
I replaced the pump with an Alpha 2 15/60, plus new Room Stat and new Cylinder Stat.
While changing the rads I opened each rad valve one at a time to check flow rate, all seamed good.
When I balanced the radiators I have had to close the LS valves so much (between 1/8 to 1/4 turn) to get all rads warm that the return on all rads is stone cold as is the bottom of the rads.
If I turn off any 2 or 3 rads I can improve the situation but not with them all on.
As I am not a plumber I am now stuck for ideas and would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks
