hi all,
ive been looking on the site for some answers (excellent site btw) but can't find the right answers, so here goes:
i heard one of my ground floor radiators gurgling so decided to bleed the air out of it. i did this gradually and kept on checking the gauge under small red 'tank', topping it up to 1bar as i went. got all air out of radiator and everything seemed fine.
however checked the pressure again the other day and it had dropped to just under .5bar while cold? i topped this up to 1bar again, ran the system and it got to about 1.4 bar when hot?
then i left it overnight and it dropped to about .8 bar, however when i turned heating on the pressure dropped to about .2bar straight away before rising to about 1bar.
ive turned it off and its currently sitting at about .9 bar, while warm but not turned on?
any suggestions?
i have an ideal/icos he18, with megaflo unvented/indirect tank, with a small red tank above it with the pressure gauge. i have 14 rads in total
sorry for the long post, just trying to give as much info as possible
