just fixed a problem after years of ongoing speculation , including "trained" homeserve engineers replacing the prv , twice! As you look at filling loop tap horizontal is closed and vertical is open whilst turning it clockwise , HOWEVER!!!! as I have just discoverd if you turn it a fraction to far so its at 12:01 rather that 12:00 position it slightly opens it back up and therefore ................releases water into the bolier , problem solved at no cost at all , thanks.
YOU MIGHT NOT NEED TO REPLACE FILLING LOOP , READ!

Why have you posted this comment in 2 different topics?
Anyway, wasnt it burnerman who told you to check the loop was fully turned off?

all my installs have loop disconnected, as long as customer is informed what to do if pressure drops before service why leave it on?
iv been to loads of *leaking pipes outside* that were filling loops still connected and passing.

How did these "trained" guys not find that fault on the 1st attempt?
because they work for homeserve , for those of you that are not aware homeserve are a company that are supposed to tackle , heating , plumbing , carpentry , roofing , electricals and everything else you can imagine , in my experience all of their staff are experienced in one of these fields and the one that turns up is not necessarily the one for the job so he calls the relevant one and the guy on the other end tells him what to do , therefore your guy is working almost blind
rubbish homeserve do not send carpenters to boiler faults and vise versa.
Thats what i was going to reply with! Would be marginally illegal with regards the boiler work
Homeserve are a joke.
They got paid by insurance to fix a broken window in my house - they boarded it up on the first visit as they said they had to go back to depot to get glass cut (unlike most sensible people who would have driven 1km to the local glass shop to get it cut). On their second visit, weeks later, they fitted the glass but cracked it with a nail too close to the edge of the beading.
That was in 2006.
They have yet to return to fix it.
