Hi folks,
I have had issues with the central heating plumbing leaking, in this (very old) house, over the last 4 or 5 years since I moved in. I know a plumber who added Fernox sealant and after this failed to work, Corgi sealant to the system, which stopped the pressure from dropping for a consistent 14 months.
Since yesterday, the pressure has dropped to below 0.5Bar despite re-pressurizing the system, it has dropped again today.
I ordered the same Corgi sealant that worked in the past, but not sure if the plumber will be able to make it over any time soon to add it. I noticed that he added it into the system where the conventional hot water tank is, in the past.
I ordered one of these "Eezyfill" adapters to add the sealant to the system, but the radiators in this house are ancient.
Perhaps I would be able to isolate a part of the plumbing next to hot water tank (e.g. magnetic filter) and then add the sealant in there, before re-pressurizing and running Central Heating?
I would greatly appreciate any advice in layman's terms...
Many thanks
Tom, Belfast.
P.S. I have attached some photos showing the pipes and plumbing trying to figure out where he added the sealant and how
