Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of advice - we had the Ravenheat CSI 120T Low Nox Combi installed about 12months ago. Initially all was fine and we got to the summer having to top up the pressure a couple of times but didnt think much about it. After the long hot summer (OK maybe not!) we are now using the heating more and have to top up the pressure every day, sometimes twice a day to 1.5 or the whole thing shuts off when it gets below 0.4.
With that much water leaving the system I thought leak, but with a newly fitted laminate floor throughout the ground floor of the house I dont particularly want to take it up to look, and I cant see any signs of one from upsatirs. I've had a quick scan through the old posts and there are mentions of PRV problems and Expansion Vessels which need more air, so I'm hoping its something like that rather than an underground leak.
I guess my question is, not being a plumber, are there any easy checks I can do myself to see if it is a problem with the actual boiler or wether it is a leak in the downstairs pipes?
Many thanks, and ideas/suggestions gratefully received!
