    Purging Air from closed loops and locating air leaks??

    leaks If the pipe was leaking on the inlet it would suck in air if it was leaking on the return it would blow out water if air was trapped in a high point in the return it could slowly blow bubbles until their was no longer any air in the system

    Purging Air from closed loops and locating air leaks??

    bubbles If the bubbles are going away after some time I don't think you would have leaks if it continues you probably have leaks the best seal on threaded fittings is clear silicone sealer, you could put a john guest valve at the highest point or point on the lines to burp the air
