Hi,
Looking to see if anyone can give some advice please.
My Baxi boiler has been losing pressure and I am having to top it up approx. every 4 hours from 0-1.5 bar each time. This has been going on a week now.
I have also started to notice small drips running down my condensate pipe, internally before it passes through the wall to outside. This has only started today. I have went round all may radiators and does not seem to be any leak from valves/connections or any sign of water running down pipework to floor. There also does not seem to be any visible signs of water on ceilings. Can't check ground floor pipework as we have tiled and wooden flooring.
I have currently turned off flow & return heating valves under boiler and switched boiler to hot water from taps only? If I still lose pressure would this narrow it down to something inside the boiler and not on the actual heating pipework / radiators??
I have had a new heat exchanger fitted few years ago and starting to wonder if this has went again, but how would I know this?
Looking to see if anyone can point me in any direction for things to try and hopefully narrow it down a bit. Just hoping its not some sort of issue in pipework. Last thing I want to do is going ripping up floors so that's last resort.
Thanks
Derek
