Hi.
I have a Worcester combi boiler in an infrequently occupied holiday let in Scotland. It frequently shows low pressure on the boiler and has occasionally over the years stopped due to low pressure. Topping it up seems to solve the problem for anything between months and days. If there was a leak then the downstairs neighbour would let me know soon enough!! I live in terror of it dying and the pipes freezing in the middle of winter.
It just recently dawned on me that maybe I am fretting over nothing. What I realised was that the pressure might only be usefully read when the boiler is on. While it was off the pressure was at zero but after running it for about 5 minutes it was happily in the green (sorry, don't have any accurate figures as I am not there right now).
But in general, what reading might I expect when the boiler is off?
Thanks in anticipation.
