Hi folks
At little advice if you please?
Have a glowworm 30ci combi boiler. After foolishly turning the boiler off over Christmas for 3 weeks when we got back middle of Jan, the boiler has been lossing pressure when off overnight, so I've been filling with the bypass loop.
The boiler reports it's got .5 bar every morning.
Two days ago I noticed the pressure display blinking and showing 2.5-3 bar.
This morning before I turned it on, I noticed it was leaking from the overflow... constantly. I could also hear the faintest sound of water [hissing kind of!]
After reading on here drained the boiler and I got a tyre pressure gauge to read the expansion vessel. it reads 1.5 Bar.
I have had, and still do a bit of water leaking from brass fitting [next to the red Pressure Relief Valve.] that is linked to the fill-in loop.
**Just looked in the manual and the 'brass fitting' where water is coming out of is the Reduced Pressure Zone Valve
***HAD the boiler on for 15 mins, and it's just lost pressure, this is the FIRST time this has happened whilst the boiler has been running.
Any thought chaps please?
Cheers
Wilse
