Desperately looking for help, as SSE home services seem clueless.
We have a pressurised system using an old but reliable Ideal classic boiler.
Every now and then, I have to top up the pressure in a little red bottle in a downstairs cupboard.
However, for a while now, the fill loop doesn't seem to have been working.
I no longer feel water rushing into the red bottle, and I no longer see the pressure gauge going up.
Since these fill-loop problems, the central heating has been problematic.
Basically, the boiler and pump will keep going even through the controls say they should be off.
SSE home services have replaced the pump, a solenoid valve in the boiler and they attached a foot-pump device to a little bicycle-tyre style valve on the red bottle.
None of these seem to have stopped the problem, the boiler and pump were still running yesterday PM when they should have been off.
HELP PLEASE!!!
