Hi all, We recently had our bathroom done. The installer has finished up and gone back to Holland (dont ask!). We have been left with a couple of unresolved issues regarding the wall tiles. The tiles we chose are a rough surfaced slate effect porcelain tile (see here...

Hi, In the end I replaced the PRV and that seemed to solve the problem. It seemed that it was clogged up with black gunk (which was also the same problem with the pressure gauge) and this was preventing it from functioning correctly. After replacing the PRV, all was good. I treated the...

Hi Micky, Thanks for the feedback. It only seemed to leak when I upped the pressure to over 3bar (it has not leaked before that). You are probably right about not over pressurising the system, but I just wanted to check what would happen when I went over the 3bar limit that the PRV is...

Thanks Michele. As mentioned above I have already checked the expansion vessel and although it was empty, I recharged it and it seems to be holding the charge since, but the problem persists, so I guess PRV is the next thing.

As a little update, I did some experimenting this afternoon. I noticed that if I deliberately overfill the boiler to 3-4 bar pressure, the system spits a load of water straight out of the overflow, and eventually settles at around 1.5 bar. As I understood it the PRV is supposed to release at...

Hi all, This is my first post to the forum but I have lurked for a while and would like to thank everyone for their helpful comments. I have a Remeha Avanta condensing boiler that rapidly loses pressure and requires topping up every few days. I have checked the house all over for leaks...
