Hi guys
The other day my boiler started leaking quite badly from the bottom of the DHW PDV. That is, water was almost pouring out for a short time. However water is now only dripping out occasionally. I thought it must be a seal of some sort, but, having opened it up, the only 'seal' i can see is the diaphragm itself. The diaphragm looks ok, but i haven't changed it for a few years so could it be the cause of the leak? FYI - hot water is fine (so diaphragm is doing its job) and there is no leak thru the (microswitch-activating) spindle hole.
