Glow Worm Boiler - Pressure Increasing

2»

Comments

  • I haven't bled all the radiators but will try that this evening. Thanks
  • Just an update to this. I have bled all the radiators in the house and that dropped the pressure down to 1.1 bar but overnight it's crept up to 1.4 with the heating off still. I've looked at the filling loop again which is off and there is actually a tiny leak coming from the central heating valve that the filling loop connects to. Surely this should be decreasing the pressure?!
  • when the ev was changed what was the pressure in it before it was fitted ? it should be around 0.75-1.0 bar, if he put too much pressure in it & the connecting pipe is blocked it might be allowing back pressure from the ev to build up over night
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
  • It was pressurised to 1 bar apparently.
