Hi,
I have the above problem. I discovered it when I noticed that the central heating system was loosing pressure and needed topping up almost every week. Then, one day I noticed that the pile of towels that we keep under the boiler were soaking wet.
I have taken the case off the boiler and noticed that the water is leaking from the Air seperator (identified from the manual). There is a large amount of what appears to be limescale built up around the seperator.
My question is that would removing the Air seperator and cleaning all of the limescale off cure the problem or would it be best to purchase a new one. Also, I assume that if I remove the seperator then water is going to go everywhere... How do I drain out the water so that the seperator can be removed?
Thanks.
Simon.
