Boiler Question - Pressure

darktrader

Thanks for the advice.

Although not "worried" as it was different to how it used to be and the rads were slightly noisier.

Anyway, just for information, the PRV seems to have kicked in on its own

I'm out all day at work but leave the heating on, setting the thermostat @ 17 so the property does not get too cold.

Came home Friday and the pressure gauge was "like it used to be" Well, almost. 1.3 bar off - goes to around 2.6 bar when on. However, the overflow outside had a pool of water underneath. So, I'm assuming the PRV kicked in

Anyway. Heating and hot water have worked just like they used to for two days now. Pressure isn't rising like before, nor is it dropping below the 1.3 bar. I can't tell if any more water has come out of the overflow because it's been raining.

My plan of action now is just monitor it and if the pressure starts creeping up again, or I see water coming out of the overflow I'll call BG out. (I'm under contract, so it won't cost me anymore money. Just time.)

Any experts think this plan is "wrong" let me know.

(Funny, now I've had a problem how I seem to be learning so much now how it all works. I've even read the installation and maintenance manual!)
