Hello

 

The pressure in my boiler was dropping every time it was used and the hot water from the tap was working perfectly. But the moment I re-pressurised my boiler, the hot water stops coming from the taps, only cold. Can someone give me some advice on how to fix this, please? It is a combi boiler, Heat Line.

Valliant Ecotec bolier - different issue now.

 

Hi, I replaced the expansion vessel due to the random pressure issues and the pressure is still creeping up. I disconnected the filling loop as I was hoping it was not closing properly and it wasn't, it was dribbling. I bought a cap, capped it off, set the pressure to 1bar and hoped that would be it.

 

Later the pressure was down, I thought it might just be settling down so I re pressurized it (reconnecting the filling loop temporarily)

 

This morning it was down to .3.

 

Gutted. No leaks anywhere in the house and I could not see any water coming out of the pipe out the back. The pressure had been going up to 2.5 since I replaced the expansion vessel.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi who fitted the expansion vessel?

[neeeeeeeeeek 10]

Hi, Cheers for the reply.

 

Not me, a friend who is a qualified heating engineer. He usually works on bigger stuff but is qualified and used to do domestic.

 

After it was replaced everything seemed fine. The pressure was set and the heating and how water ran for a while and everything stayed stable. Previously the pressure was all over the place. Expansion vessel is an original, cost a fortune! The old one was full of water. the filling loop was deffinetly dribbling. Could that have knackered something else by constantly pushing the pressure up above 2 bar. I've been letting water out the radiator.

Hi

was the pressure relief valve changed at the same time as the vessel?

It might not be seating correctly and allowing a bit through it all the time causing pressure to drop.
