Fill it slowly bleeding from bottom to upstairs it can take a while . All valves open and no pumps running

i know how you feel i had a large 5 bed barn conversion the other week filling up took ages. i always start from the bottom and work up as air rises

glesga style ya dafty lol haha

heres a thought, what about making up a gadget with PRV setting it to around 0.2-0.5 bar and linking it up with mains and filling it up that way ? capping off the vent obviously.
