Pressure Problem

[ed w]

Can you please help me.

I have a Worcester 24i combi boiler (installed 18 months ago). Recently the pressure keeps dropping to 0 which means we have to top up the pressure every 2-3 days. When the pressure is on 1.5bar the pipe is overflowing (Pressure relief valve ??) is dripping.

Doesn anyone know why this is happening. We have the loop still connected all the time, would this cause this ?

thanks

shouldn't overflow at 1.5bar.....is your pressure guage actually accurate?

Remove the loop. Let us know what happens then???!!!

keep a close eye on the pressure make sure it does not rise upto 3 bar, if it stays as you say thn you just need to cleen out your prv or replace it and as said your fillong loop should be left disconected
