Some questions on a new install. I'll ask the quick questions first then give abit background for those with time:
1) Is it OK to make a short test loop of around 1 mtr between boiler central heating output and return to rule out system leaks
2) can TRVS cause pressure loss with no visible leaks
3) Is leak sealant ok to use in new combis - have read conflicting comments. If OK thinking of giving some Fernox F4 express a try.
Tried giving more detail but saying 'forbidden words' so some bullet points :
New Ideal Vogue 32 and TRVS installed around 3 weeks ago.
system losing pressure - Installer and Ideal suspect system leak
Leak test carried out ( thermal and gas trace ) - no leaks found and nothing visible.
Pressure is lost randomly - sometimes 90 minutes, other times over a day ( it ran for over 2 weeks after a magna filter cleaned and leak seal added but has started again )
Thanks
