BIASI RIVA COMPACT HE BOILER

[Mickh86]

Hi,

Found this site searching for help with my boiler. Hope someboday can help .

When i bought the house 2 yrs ago the system were just installed and has been workng fine.

But recently noticed a loss in pressure going to Zero. No sign of any leakage, wet patches on walls etc...

Have filled the system back up a number of times and noticed it had drop to Zero again within a couple of days.

Hope someone can help me with this before i need to call a plumber

cheers for that everything looks gud iev done the trick what ppl have posted to put a bottle on the pipe to see if it collects water!

Ok, I re-filled the boiler, and ran the heating for a few minutes. Sure enough water began to slowly trickle from the lower pipe (there are two - an upper copper pipe, and lower plastic one)

In one way I am glad that I know for definite it's not an internal leak, but where do I go from here?

Thanks

the lower plastic one is the condense it's supposed to drip

is the copper one dripping at all

Hmm... Well I can't see any coming from the copper pipe at all but I've just set up a bag to collect any drips/trickles that may occur and I will check it in the morning...
