help! Lost Pressure!

gromittigger

Hello

I have a problem with a Glow Worm Ultimate 30FF fanned flu boiler (SIT) G.C. No.41 047 07

Fortunatly I typed glow worm into the google search and got this Forum!:D

My problem is as follows:

The water pressure guage on the front keeps dropping pressure to the point now that I have to top up the water daily!

Does anyone know what can cause this?

This may help - Im having building work done and the digger cut through the water mains and force grit into the house system - I know this as the toilet valves all had to be cleaned as they stopped flowing.:o

Can dirt in the water block open a valve or something?

Any help or ideas would be greatful.

It would point the system losing water.

Do you have a small leak somewhere. It would not take a lot to lose pressure.

Hi,

Wow what a lot of info, have problem with my combi Baxi boiler as keep losing pressure. Keep topping it up and within 2 or 3 days the pressure is gone.
I have checked all rads and pipe thing that comes out of wall and no leaks.
Any ideas, boiler is 4 years old.
