Thorn olympic 38/50b how to maintain pressure
- Thread starter JoCampbell
- Start date
Could you not call the plumber that came last time and ask him were the filling loop was, Most decent plumbers would show the customer were it is and how to use it, I do, If there is only one large tank in the loft it will be a filling loop you are looking for but they can be hard sometimes to find, i once found one behind a fridge in a cupboard

It's nice to know i wasn't just being stupid about how simple it was to sort out! 
Thank you for your help, will try and findout who it was we called out last time. Fingers crossed he'll be nice and just tell us what to do rather than charging us. Thank you again, worth the try.

never would have guessed that!!! good job i didn't start bleeding the radiators yet!
I'd be very surprised if you had a sealed system. Somewhere you will have a red enamel vessel, round or cylindrical in shape. Alternatively you may have an open system which will be fed from a small tank in the loft. The previous problem may be that the cold feed was blocked which should now be O.k. Have you tried bleeding a radiator? Did you get water or air out? If you haven't tried, then I suggest you do and see what happens. You've nothing to lose; if it works it works, if it doesn't , you need help. If you don' try, you'll never fix.
try in the clinder cupboard

A Thorn olympic 38/50b should be ov it's too old to be a pressurized system
steve32 is correct,
According to MI for this boiler, should only be fitted to open system, a ticking bomb waiting to happen. Rip it out and fit a new one ASAP
