Guys,
I had a HeatTeam engineer round to recharge my expansion vessel last week. Yes it's a DIY job but it's covered under my plan so it's better the expert does it than I make a mess of it.
He discharged the pressure in the system using the red PRV, which I've read on here many times is a bad thing to do because it is very likely to leak afterwards, right? Once he left, the PRV continued to slowly drip and squirt the water out of the system into the overflow, and the boiler gets to zero after about a day.
I've got an engineer coming back tomorrow to fix it, so should I be expecting him to replace the PRV or just wiggle it and tell me it's stopped leaking? It doesn't leak fast enough to know if it's fixed or if there's residual water in the pipe dripping out, or if the boiler will empty its contents down the drain by tomorrow morning. If any of you experts have any advice on what to look out for it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
