Hello All,
Recently i have noticed thatt the pressure gauge on the boiler has been dropping down from its normal 1.5bar to around 0.5 to 0.2bar. In order to get the pressure back i am having to insert the Tee key and add water to the system (not sure how much i am adding but the tap is being fully opened and it takes about 15seconds to reach 1.5bar pressure)
I realise this sounds like there is a leak somewhere in the system but i have checked all accessible piping and not found any problems additionally there is no visible sign of any leak anywhere in the house.
This issue is occuring every 48 hours or so but only when the boiler has been turned off, when its left running (Central heating on) the pressure remains relatively constant at 1.5bar.
I am confused, could this be some other boiler issue (a valve or something) or is it more than likely a leak i have not located yet?
Thanks.
Jody.
