Hi everyone
Having had a week from hell with our boiler i've got a question.
The central heating has been over pressurising during the last week up to 3bar and then out of the PRV - several times as I fault found the issue.
Problem with that was a blocked pipe to the expansion vessel - now fixed.
Central heating holding pressure as it should now and expansion vessel all ok, but...
I'm getting a single drip out of the PRV (out of the pipe outside) every 30 secs - 1min when central heating is on.
Questions are;
Has the PRV gone week due to being used a few times?
If I tried to use some central heating leak fix would this help with this issue (instead of replacing the PRV?)
I know i should really be replacing the PRV but reading the instructions it looks like a right pig to do - am just trying to avoid more boiler disassembly if I can help it!!
Thanks
