Hi All,
Bit clueless here, but wanted some advice if possible.
We had a new 200ltr unvented system installed recently. All seemed fine, however the CH kept turning off and rads going cold.
I checked the EV in the loft, and it's pressure gauge had dropped to 0. I opened the valves up and filled back up to 1.5bar (on advice of the fitting plumber). This got the rads going again, but two hours later it's back to no pressure/rads off?
When the rads came back on originally, I could hear them bubbling away (filling up?) quite loudly. I bled them, two released air...
The only thing I've done recently since the install is turn the gauge on the Worcester boiler up from 1/2 way to full.... could that be a problem?
Overflow seems fine, no water came out the EV when I checked...
Plumbed said air possibly escaping the system somewhere, or water leak in the ground floor pipes, but could try a sealing solution.
He's v.good, but is there anything obvious I should look for/try before rushing them back out? It seems a bit extreme the EV drops pressure in two hours?
Thanks,
CN
