thanks are you referring to the boiler or the central heating?

Hi the water pressure in our central heating system was showing 3 bar, 4 hours after the boiler switched off. I have relieved some pressure using the valve on top of the Opticon gauge but it creeps back up to 3 bar when the boiler is running. not sure if this is connected but the oil boiler...

problem solved- the feed line and fittings were pressure tested and all is OK. when the new Danfoss BFP 11 pump was fitted the installer didnt remove the horseshoe washer from inside the pump, as it should be for a double pipe system. thanks Oilhead

many thanks !
