If not, a large air bubble can collect in the radiators on that floor with very little hope of being absorbed by the hot water circulating through that zone. On 2nd & higher floors, the bubble may be large enough to prevent the circulator pumps from working AT ALL, since they rely on siphon from downflow to assist upflow.

The water returns to the bottom of the water heater near the drain about 10 degrees cooler than when it left.

What to do if your hot water heater has air in it?
Shut off the power. For gas heaters, this means turning the switch near the bottom of your tank to close the gas feed and turn off the pilot light.
