I’ve got a leak in my central heating system.
I’m losing about 1 bar a day and this has been happening for the last 5 days. It works out to be about 3 pints a day.. yep approx 15 pints of water loss.
I have just had new carpets put down so yes it couldn’t have happened at a worse time.
I know the issue is with the pipe work rather than the boiler as I have turned the central heating ball valves off at the boil for 24 hours and the boiler didn’t lose any pressure.
When I turned the ball valves back on the pressure dropped.
My question is how do I find the leak without ripping all the carpets back up one by on or having to pay someone to acoustically find the problem.
Another question is has anyone ever used leak sealant and doesn’t effect the boiler? Oh.. And does it work effectively?
