Hi - first time poster.
This seems a friendly and helpful forum, hoping someone out there can help me out and point me in the right direction.
First of all I am a complete noob at all and I have a feeling I will make a complete pigs ear of something without double checking what I am doing first.
The problem:
Noticed the water was not staying hot for long - checked the boiler and the F22 code was flashing, and the bar reading was flashing between 0.4 / 0.5
I tried bleeding the radiators (seen my Dad do this) did'nt hear any air coming out, just a little trickle of water. I did all the radiators throughout the house.
I checked the boiler itself, the pipes coming out of it / connections. Nothing appeared o be damp or wet (it's in the airing cupboard with linen - they were all dry)
I have seen the YouTube clip below - is this safe to follow? My taps underneath do not turn (presuming they need to be unscrewed??) and not clear which ones you turn - both? Whats the difference between each one? How long for, etc?
Just worried if this is a short term fix - does the problem mean there could be a leak in my radiators somewhere and I am not looking for the root cause - or is just simply the fix as seen below?
Many thanks in advance
