    Leak (boiler loosing pressure)

    We have a leak and ripped up the floor.. Found a bit of pipe that looks like this (image attached) The boiler was loosing pressure quickly about 0.5 bar of pressure every 15 mins. Since this bit of pipe was fixed the pressure is holding for longer but still dropping, much slower (about 0.5...

    Single pump question

    My cold is mains fed and I'm looking to install a single impeller on hw (tank fed). I've already raised the tank to ensure I have the minium ltr/min feed but what I'm wondering is, if at the bath/shower I start mixing the cold and hot then isn't that going to affect the hw ltr/min feed and...

    Vented a rad, now pressure doesn't hold but no evidence of leaks?

    My closed central heating system has been fine for years. 6yr old Baxi combi boiler, 11 radiators. One bedroom radiator was discovered to be full of air (more air than water I reckon), so I vented it. In doing so the system pressure dropped, as you'd expect, and the air stopped coming out, so I...

    VAILLANT TURBOMAX boiler gaining pressure

    My hot water stopped working and I noticed the pressure on my VAILLANT TURBOMAX boiler had dropped to zero. I increased the pressure to 1.5 by opening the Filling Loop valve, but after I closed the valve, the pressure kept on rising getting very close to the red area. I bled a radiator and it...

    Problems with new Aqualisa Quartz shower - Any help appreciated!

    Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me. We’ve just had an Aqualisa Quartz shower installed and we’re having nothing but problems with it. When you first get in, it’s amazing, however it only gives out 7 minutes of hot water before it turns freezing cold. You can then turn it off for just 5...

    Shower High Pressured Initially Then Slows Down

    I have a water tank and boiler linked to 3 showers. When turning on the shower the pressure is great for roughly 10 seconds then it slows down, it's not terrible but I'd like to keep that initial pressure if possible? Is this set somewhere on the system or perhaps just a limitation?

    Loss of tyre pressure

    Hi, I bought a used troc tdi 2019 from a main dealer three weeks ago - 19 inch alloys. On the long motorway drive home, tyre pressure light came on. Checked and it was 12 psi and reinflated. Took the car to a tyre shop, no leak found. Resealed and new valve. Couple of days later, again tyre...

    Baxi 105he water pressure problem

    Hi. I have a baxi 105he boiler. Pressure is around 0.4 bar so very low. When heating runs it goes up to around 3 bar. If I run the hot water at the same time the pressure goes up to around 3.3 bar and water comes out the pressure overflow pipe. What would cause this? Thanks

    Quick fix! Boiler loss of pressure - filling tubes no valves?

    Hello I have no pressure in my boiler and know I need to open the valves of the filling loop to pressurise the system but I have no valves on it and it’s not an easy unscrew system either. Turning the valves to the top of the copper pipes does nothing either

    Boiler pressure dropping so it cuts off once a day

    Hi all Noticed the condenser pipe had come out of the bottom of our boiler a couple of days ago so switched the boiler off for a day and then realised it was an easy fix so pushed the pipe back into place. When I put the boiler back on again I noticed the pressure was low so opened the valves...

    How to repressurise strange boiler?

    Hello, I have a Worcester Greenstar 25Si Combi MK IV boiler. Neither this model's manual nor all the Youtube tutorials on how to increase a boiler's pressure seem to correspond to what this boiler actually looks like: there is no slot for a filling link key, there is no keyless filling link blue...

    Pressure limiter

    Can anyone recommend a pressure limiter to use with a water softener? The instructions say if the pressure is above 5 bar, limit it to 3.5 bar. I've told the plumber several times but he hasn't done it so I plan to buy it and give it to him to fit the next time he visits. Thanks

    Combi boiler won't start after bleeding rads

    So I just had the heating system drained by a plumber to replace a UFH mixer valve, he filled it back up and left in a hurry. I ran the heating to see if it worked OK and noticed all the radiators upstairs were only half full. I turned the heating off and bled them. I tried running the heating...

    High Pressure - Is there air trapped in the system?

    Hello I have a Worcester condensing boiler and recently changed the towel rail in the bathroom. I filled up the new towel rail and then topped up the boiler a little to return the pressure to normal. However, now when I run the boiler the pressure goes up high to 3 bar. So I bled the...

    Using a standard shower pump for the whole house

    I have a gravity fed system which consists of a cold water storage tank in the loft and a hot water tank on the ground floor in an airing cupboard. The hot water pressure on the ground floor in the kitchen and toilet is decent, which is expected as the water has a longer drop from the loft. On...

    Combi system losing pressure

    Has anyone known a Grant 26 combi (external) to leak internally into the flame chamber? For the approx four weeks, every morning the boiler has lost all it's pressure. I refill the system to 1.2 bar, and it kicks back in, and works fine - rads toasty warm and hot water is hot! This may last two...
