Evening all
called out to an Alpha CD25C
tenant complaining of pressure loss. Get there and gauge on zero. Whilst at zero, re-pressurised exp vessel. Re-pressurised system and tested, all working correctly.
Told tenant to shout if pressure drops again. Got 3/4 way home and phone goes. As she wasn't too tough on the eye I swung round and went back. She said it lost pressure again as soon as she used the shower. Whilst shower warmed up she'd gone into the kitchen to get something and noticed that the boiler had gone right up to 2.5bar almost instantly.
I re-pressurised boiler again and spent the next hour or so trying to recreate this fault. No joy!!!
left tenant to it ️️saying to shout if it happens again. Got phonecall at 20:00 saying pressure has dropped again. Not a clue what's happening with it. PRV seems fine, exp vessel charged and holding, no let by at filling loop, and nothing from condense so looks like hex is ok.
Please can anyone help
