Hoping somebody in the know can help me with my boiler problem.
I've just put a radiator back on after decorating and refilled the system through the loop on the boiler and then open all the bleed valves to release the air. When I refilled the system I put enough water in so that the pressure guage on the boiler registered 1.5 bar as per the manufacturers instructions.
I went back to the boiler an hour or so later and the pressure guage had risen to 3 bar. I released some pressure from the system (or so i thought) by releasing the pressure valve in the border which has a pipe that goes out through the wall. I thought this had cured it but again the pressure gradually crept back upto 3 bar. I then opened the drain valve on the boiler and and released some more water via a hosepipe.
Again the pressure guage dropped but then gradually rose back upto 3 bar.
I'm obviously doing something wrong - can anyone tell me what. Also, is it safe to use the boiler at the 3 bar pressure?
