I have installed a small ball valve on the supply and return lines before the attachment to the PEX that goes to the house. I occasionally open them and a little air spits out. I know there is still air in the system and would like to continuously bleed it. Has anyone installed air bleeders on a Garn - if so, whose? Thanks

Find the highest point in the system and put in an automatic vent. I have one in the basement, but when I open the manual vent I found on a baseboard upstairs, there is alway a litle air. Also, if you have an outomatic water feed, if you lift up on the lever it bypasses the 14 PSI regulator, and helps push out air. Just don't leave it open long, because your pressure/temp relief valve will pop off.
 
The Garn is an open system, will always have "air" in it. Unless you are talking about air locks in your lines.

I'm no pro, year one burning.
