Hi All,
Hope someone can point me in the correct direction here with this strange pressure issue I'm experiencing with our heating system.
It's a Camray Oil fired combi boiler. System is installed for a bungalow with 9 radiators attached. Hot water works perfectly.
I've had trouble with it since last year on and off and a couple of engineers have looked at it but have been unable to solve it.
Basically the pressure gauge on the control panel shows 0. Most of the time this is no problem, however from time to time it seems to cause the pump to squeal loudly until its topped up again.
If I top the system up to pressure (roughly 2bar) and then run the heating, the pressure will climb until it hits 3 bar and the safety valve opens and dumps out some water.
Last night I topped the system up to just half a bar and then ran the heating. The pressure then climbed up to about the 2 bar mark, however I've just come home tonight and checked it and its back down at 0.
Later tonight I'll run the heating and see what the gauge does, but I'm just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of what might be wrong.
Cheers,
Steve
