Why can't someone invent a water pump that can cope with
an air bubble?

Switch to steam heat; the radiators have air vents.

All water central heating radiators have air vents. If they
didn't,
they'd have lots of air inside them.

The trouble is they aren't automatic. And it assumes that the
vents are always where the air collects. I often get air stuck in
the middle of some piping, or in the pump.

It has been 50 years since I was around a radiator but the ones
we had
in my high school had some kind of vent on the side that seemed
to be
letting air/steam out a lot.

There were steam radiators at the old Catholic Parochial gulag I
attended in the 1950's and as I recall the vent on the side of the
radiators was always hissing and spitting out a bit of steam. Then
the diocese built a modern new school that had through the wall units
under the windows. I don't recall if they were AC units since it was
a long time ago but come to think of it, it was cooler during the
summer months inside the new school. ^_^

[8~{} Uncle Tortured Monster

Replying to your sig.... were you tortured by priests when younger?

No, I was tortured by nuns. My first-grade teacher was an American
nun named Sister Godzilla then in the second grade, the diocese
imported Irish nuns who believe in capital punishment for small
children. I had it rough as a kid. The priests were never mean to me.
^_^

Sounds fun to me, why are you objecting?


What I experienced as a kid is the main reason I don't like people who
hurt children. I've been known to body slam someone for hurting a
small child. I couldn't physically deter anyone today which is why I
have a pistol. O_o


Hurt? I'd have loved as a child to have an older woman molest me.
What's the big deal? It's every kid's dream!


Obviously you've never been to a Catholic school. I presume there must
be young nuns but I think they keep them back at the convent scrubbing
floors until they reach 65 and are allowed to teach.
