Is there a simple reason why the pressure keeps dropping in my heating

Is there a simple reason why the pressure keeps dropping in my heating system? I'm having to re-pressurise every couple of days.

Hi virgil there are three main reasons why there is a leak somewhere the expansion vessel on your system is faulty or the pressure relieve valve on your boiler is faulty. Your best option is to post a job on here and get three heating engineers to quote you put a low price to start.

Hi Yes it is;) there can be a few problems that pressure is droping : 1) check for any leaks on radiators valves boiler pipes etc 2) it can be a problem with a boiler vesel that needs recharging 3) there can be a sludge build up in pipes, radiators that will required power flushing 4) gauge can be faulty and is showing inncorrect water pressure If any of this symptoms are rectified and fixed you should not havy any problems with your boiler I hope this will help Regards Rafal
