Posted by Shaun Newcombe, on
My boiler keeps losing pressure and air is getting into the radiators which I have to keep bleeding Any ideas what is causing this? The pipe work is push fittings

look for leeks, OR TURN BOILER OFF, fill boiler up to 3.5 bar (if possible, don't worry if the pressure climbs to high a pressure release valve will open) and go round and check all the pipework. If you find the leak (which will be a push fit not push together) then you will have to drain system from drain valve found on pipework under ground floor rads.
