I wonder if someone could help. Our boiler is acting strangely. It's a five year old Vokera Linea 735.
The boiler was re-pressurised and radiators were bled, including one radiator on the second floor. It was re-pressurised to 1.2 bar.
When the heating switched on the pressure rose to 3 bar resulting in water expelling from the system.
While the heating was running it seemed to stabilise round about 1.5 bar.
Then we ran a shower for about 5-10 mins and the pressure slowly dropped to around zero. When the shower stopped running the pressure stayed at around zero until repressurised.
Can anyone tell me what's going on with the system? Is there a possible leak in the switching valve which switches the external heating loop on and off or is it possible there's a problem with the pressure meter?
Any information gratefully received.
Cheers.
