The filling/top-up loop could be located at the same level as the highest radiator in the house. Just saying.

But it would be able to do that even if the pressure in the system was say 0.3 bar My question was, why operate at 1 bar system pressure (as most boilers seem to) instead of say 0.3 or 0.5 bar?

How much for all that work?

?? The expansion vessel is only there to accommodate the water expanding as it is heated up. In gravity fed systems the expanding water went to the tank in the loft.

A domestic combi boiler/system for DHW and central heating. Why does the system have to be pressurised to 1 bar. Why not 0.2 to 0.5 bar? When the pump runs, that will also create pressure in the system. Thanks

How did you get on with this? Sounds similar to a boiler installed in a loft.

Did you get it sorted?

The flip side of the argument Some tradesman charge an arm and a leg to fix simple things, and would the tradesmen not just do the same thing, minimum cost max profit

Why would you want to do it?

This is a known issue and easy to fix.

As the cylinder is not leaking now, it's highly probable that the plumber "fabricated" a leak to "generate" some extra work/income - and they are know for doing this sort of thing. And then did the job properly the 2nd time round. Epitomizes the trust worthiness of many trades and not just...

Would you live next to a mobile phone mast? If not, then why have a router TRANSMITTING wifi radiation in your house? and disguised one

The clues in the caveat "as much as possible" OP says "The gaskets/seals on both penetrations were off-centre" that should of started the alarm bells ringing! But I accept that the OP would probably have wanted that cylinder fitted anyway.

As much as possible by visual examination to see if the gaskets/seals are compromised/cut in anyway.

Or Could it be the plumber just made a mistake in fitting it, and hence the leak. Just a thought. And then blame the cylinder for being faulty. Surely, a good plumber would of checked the seals/gaskets BEFORE fitting the parts. But hey-ho that's the way it goes. I don't think they like it if you...
