Got a weird one, no water on on valve and tested integrity using LDF and all fine.

Drained down system and left drain off open and pumped to around 1 bar. It’s not holding any pressure but not showing any other of the normal symptoms of a broken membrane.

My thoughts are vessel but I’m not 100% because of the lack of water on the shraeder valve and it doesn’t sound like it’s full of water
