2023 Barefoot - Hidden Bleeders

Wonderita

Can someone tell me where the bleeders are for my heat pump in the 2023 Barefoot? My glycol was low and when I filled it some air must have gotten stuck because my pump won’t run now. I can’t seem to locate any bleeders to try to release the air.

@Wonderita welcome to the forum! From my reading you have the Alde 30320 system, similar to the one in our 400. There is an auto bleed valve at the boiler that can get sticky, and you might have the reservoir as your only high point for bleeding. If you can locate the circulation pump, you can operate it on CONT mode and turn the pump up to 5 to increase the flow thru the system. That may clear the air. Also raising and lowering the tongue have been used by some. You can search the posts for air and Alde and see what comes up

Here is the 3020 diagram. The brass thingy is the air vent. Some folks have tapped on it while the unit is running to unstick it. Also the round black thing is the inline circulation pump  pump and it has a scale for speed on it.1-5.
