Done all as instructed but the boiler still loosing pressure the very same day. When releasing pressure from the EV the boiler water pressure maintained 1.5bar but you said it should drop.. does that mean anything? Thank you Duarte

I would do it the same day but I am away. Why is it too late?! Duarte

Hi Tony! You seem to know this boiler and that procedure makes sense to me! Will try to convince my girl to cancel British Gas. Will let you know the result probably this weekend! Thank you very much Duarte

Hi Mandate, Unfortunately the boiler lost again pressure to zero. Hi Naanbread, Thank you for your advice. I tested the pressure on the expansion vessel at different points and it varies, if it was blocked I think it wouldn't, what do you think? I recon the vessel is faulty.. This...

Hi Mandate, Drained the boiler and pressurized the expansion vessel. After filling up the central heating system with water again the pressure on the expansion vessel raised for almost double the pressure so I had to release some air. Bled air on radiator and all ok so put the boiler working...

Last time i did it by the PRV cause i installed it new so its safe and I thought it would work. Didnt.. The Vessel capacity is 5L. The radiators / system is not completely drained for at least 4 years so will cease to do it now. Yeah, top up is easy, at the moment need to do it on a daily...

I am quite sure the vessel pipe is not blocked. At the moment the problem is about loosing pressure and not about getting over pressure. I don't know if the vessel has any water cause its hidden at the back of the boiler and i hardly manage to access the air valve on the top. My plan is drain...

Last time I gave it a bit of pressure after releasing a bit too much and the vessel is fine cause i checked next day and the pressure didn't change. To release the water on the vessel I opened the PRV and what I should have done was drain the system on a radiator or in the boiler drain valve...

Hi Mandate! Thank you very much for your help! The pressure recommended by the manufacturer is 0.5bar. The boiler pressure gauge was going over the limit so I checked the pressure, discharged the boiler with the pressure release valve (which i thought was enough) the pressure was 1.1 bar so...

Hi there! I have a problem with a boiler Themaclassic F24E, it looses pressure just after the heating is on when it cools down. So basically, i have to raise pressure to 1bar for it to work again. When domestic hot water is used there is no problem. The pressure release valve was changed...
