I've got a sealed system in my house with a British Gas 330+ boiler (re-badged Glow-worm). Currently the boiler is reporting that the pressure is 0.3 bar but is still working. When attempting to increase the pressure using the filling loop a small amount of water enters the system for a few seconds and then stops and the pressure stays the same.
I've changed the isolater valve on the return pipe that the filling loop connects to, but that made no difference. The pressure in the system when changing that was more like 0.3 bar and not 1 bar as I didn't drain the system to do it, so the boiler seems to be reporting the correct pressure.
Any ideas what else may be stopping the pressure from increasing? It's not like the water is still flowing and any PRV's are letting water out, the water just stops flowing in.
There is a single radiator near the front door that isn't working, inlet pipe doesn't seem to have any water, so may have a blockage somewhere. If the heating is working in general that shouldn't stop the system from pressurising and more water flowing in?
Thanks in advance,
Adam
