OK I turned the boiler off last nite and filled the pressure to 2bar, shut the CH flow and return valves and bagged the condensate pipe. This morning - 12hr later the pressure had dropped just a couple of psi and the bag over the condensate pipe was dry. There is a slight staining around the...

NO the PRV is fine - unfortunately

Cheers bud, I'll do this tonight and leave it overnight - boiler off, bag over the condence pipe and the flow&return isolated, will report back in the morning.

Morning good people I've now fitted a new pressure vessel but the boiler pressure is still rapidly dropping ( 1.5Bar - zero in 3-4 hr) can anyone please advise what I should be looking at next. Where is the pressure going?

Ahh OK thank you, after looking at it all morning it's just fired up! Which is great but doesn't tell me what the problem was, I've ordered a new pressure vessel so that should hopefully solve the pressure drop, could the burner not kicking in just have been a airlock because of loosing all...

Hi Exedon mine must be a later model as its already has a link in terminal 15-16.

Hi guys I seem to have 2 x problems, the boiler pressure keeps rapidly dropping and the burner is dead. I've a vortex 21e, It continuously drops the pressure from 1.5bar to zero in a couple of hours and I've water coming out of the condensing pipe. I checked the pressure vessel schreider valve...

OK thank you

OK thanks bud, in what way would the HW be compromised? I thought the flow on the heating would have been.

Hi guys my pump has gone on my Worcester heatslave 15/19 the current pump is a UPS 15-60x18 130, can I replace the head with a UPS15-50 TTAO? I appreciate the head height is smaller, property is a 2 bed bungalow with 5 x rads.

Hallelujah !!!!!! It’s working !! this has been causing me Agro for months ! Started off with the twin channel but just using the one channel like I’ve done on another boiler -didn’t work so went and bought a single channel receiver and thermostat - didnt work so as you advised Ian I put the...

Cheers bud off to bed as I work nights so I’ll try it tomorrow ! thank you for your help !!!

Hi Ian ok I’ve installed the dual channel as per the manual and your directions , using the thermostat to turn the HW on/off works fine, but when I use the thermostat to turn the CH on / off its switching the receiver ( green light on/ off ) but it’s not turning the boiler on ! theres a link on...

Yes it’s an external boiler but it’s in an out house with a grant green system flue, at the moment I don’t have any controls on it, so the only way to get the heating on is to use the service switch which gives you 15 mins of heat, it’s very economical but the wife’s starting to moan now winters...

Cheers Guys, I do have a dual channel as well so I’ll try that this afternoon and get back to you. Dave
