Hello,
Been reading this site over the last couple of days as my boiler (Vokera Linea 24) has recently been losing pressure. It normally needs topping up every 3/4 months but as of Friday now at least once a day.
There are no visible leaks and there is no water coming through the floorboards from upstairs. The rest of the pipes are in the cellar and I've checked them and they're all fine with no leaks. The pipe that goes outside is also not leaking. So from what I've read from other posts I think it's possibly a problem with expansion vessel.
I followed the process in the FAQs (no. 7), however, when I came to refill the system it was now taking forever and it didn't actually register anything on the pressure gauge in the 10+ mins I was waiting. It has been slow at repressurising the last few times I've done it but not this slow. So I undid the release thing on one of the rads downstairs and more water did come out so it looks it’s working just incredibly slow.
I undid the filling loop to test that and it's coming out of the water inlet rapidly. Is there anything else I should check to see why it's taking so long to fill up?
Thanks,
Matt
