I have a House with a Baxi 35/60 Boiler. Running fine for 5 Years but recently the boiler has begun to drip water from a 1/2 " pipe coming from the bottom of the boiler. The Boiler is wall mounted approximately 3 ft from the floor. The pipe is now leaking 20 Liters / Day and I have a large vat under it to collect the flow. The pipe come from what appears to be a valve in the bottom of the unit . It has a red knurled plastic knob.
I think myself that this is a pressure release valve but am not sure.
Pressure indicated on the Pressure gauge is 2.5Bar when the system is operating.
Could I reduce the pressure in the system bu slowing the pump or by reducing the head in the top up tank in the Attic?
Any ideas welcome.
