Hi everyone,
I've got a icon23T boiler that seems to be loosing pressure every couple of days (this has been going on for about a week now).
I've had this problem before and found a leak in the central heating circuit, which was repaired. The system worked great for about 3months and now I have the same pressure problem only slightly different.
The only thing that i have noticed that is slightly different in the symptoms of the boiler, is that the pressure gauge does not drop to zero like the last time, but it drops to about a quarter bar - enough for the boiler to stop firing up and heating water.
Could the drop in pressure be down to any other reason than a hole in the central heating circuit, ie. a faulty heating system safety valve (3bar) / expansion vessel or drain valve (i don't see any water coming out of the outside over pressure pipe)
Could anyone tell me whether the pressure should always eventually fall to zero, if i had a leak in the central heating circuit pipes or not.
I basically want to either eliminate or pinpoint if the boiler problem is due to a leak in the central heating circuit.
thank you very much for any help.
