I droped the system pressure and recharged the vessel to 1.0bar on Saturday (checked pressure with gauge after pumping up, the gauge on the boiler also went to to 1.0bar during pumping). The pressure has dropped to about 0.3bar again in the last 24hours (heating has been on for around 3 hours...

Thanks for the advise guys. I will give it a go and let you know how i got on. Thanks

Thanks for the info. How can i identify and activate the PRV in order to ensure the boiler pressure is at 0bar before pressurising the vessel?

Thanks for the replies. The boiler actually stopped a couple of days ago due to low pressure so my wife got a guy out to look at it as part of our insurance policy. He repressurised the system and has said that the problem is due to 'sludge' in the system and that we need a power flush...

Thanks for the reply, Just one question though i am having to add water to get pressure back in the system so if the AAV is leaking is some of the water in the system being leaked out or evaporating in the combustion chamber due to the leak?

Hello All, Recently i have noticed thatt the pressure gauge on the boiler has been dropping down from its normal 1.5bar to around 0.5 to 0.2bar. In order to get the pressure back i am having to insert the Tee key and add water to the system (not sure how much i am adding but the tap is being...
