Hello all,
I seem that, whatever good fortune I ever have in my life, it will always be offset by CH "issues"
I had a DHW "issue" about 10 days ago, which ended in scalding hot tap water pee-ing out of the kitchen tap for about 45mins.
Since then (although may not be related), my boiler is losing pressure at the rate of about 1 bar per day, perhaps more.
I cannot see any leaks (although haven't had every floor up - yet), and I am as certain as I can be that there is nothing coming out of the pressure relief pipe outside.
I had to have the expansion vessel re-pressurised a few months ago, as it was as flat as a pancake and the boiler was gaining pressure quite alarmingly.
I need some ideas - could it be a simple fault with the expansion vessel? (and if so, where is the water going?) Is it more likely to be a leak I haven't found yet? Could it even be a perforated heat exchanger? (in which case, is there a test for such?)
Failing all of the above, could anyone recommend a trustworthy engineer in the Cannock area who could (guarantee?) to fix my troubles, and possibly prolong my life by a year or two?
