so.....
I will go over this as briefly as possible....please help!
Bought a house 2 years ago, the day we moved in the pressure dropped on the boiler and it stopped working...did some digging and the sellers (nice people that they were) had hidden the fact there was a leak on the chs....under the floor....the tiled floor....jeeze I hope those lovely people are enjoying their lives right now....! We took 2 floors up, fixed the leak (we hope) and now we find ourselves:
- there is an ufh system to the attic room that comes on, but then stays on and over rides the rest of the chs and keeps that on (we were told it was on its own loop but bought the house in April so it wasn't required) so currently we can't have this on....and concerned this is affecting pressure
- the system pressure drops sporadically, I filled it up the other day as it was under pressure, then Next thing you know it has jumped from 2.5 bar to nearly 4 and volcano status! Blockage maybe?
- concerned the leak under 2 different floors is not sorted
- some rads are patchy heat wise
This is a large chs with 15 rads on, the boiler is quite old but during tests it has found to be in good working order, and has a manga clean on it. Because the system has a variety of diffferent pipes on we have been advised against a power flush...
Please, for the love of hot water god, help us!
