I'm hoping someone can please help as I'm struggling to find a solution
I've a 4 year old house and the system was fitted as new.
It has a large water tank and an expansion vessel however every morning I'm woken up to the sound of water dripping through this fitting as shown below. This value is located just below the pipe on the far right from the picture above.
The dripping is really fast and really loud and can't be good for the system.
This only occurs in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon and you can see from the picture taken at 18.35 today that there is a drip forming.
I've had several Gas Engineers out to look at it but none of which seem to know what to do so I haven't been able to sort it.
they've said that a valve elsewhere in the system "might" be the problem and have quoted me £100's but with no guarentee of success.
One of the staff associated with the housebuilder suggested it was the expansion vessel which needed to be pumped with air (or have air taken out, I can't remember which) and that would solve the problem but when I've mentioned this to various engineer's they've disagreed?
This has been going on for the last 3 years and I really don't know what else to do.
I live near Chester in North Wales so I would welcome and suggestions and offers of help from a qualified engineer.
I can post more pictures if easier.
Thanks in advance
