ideal classic boiler fault
4 Answers
My Ideal Classic with a sealed system pod about 7 years old.
If i fill system to one bar when cold it fires up to nearly 3 bar when running
It is constantly getting air in and needs filling weekly the prv body only has been replaced to no effect
Why does it build up so much pressure or is guage faulty?
Many thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i doubt that the gauge is faulty. inside the boiler is a pressure relief valve that usually vents off at about 3 bar so you are probably losing water via the vent so have a look outside to see if there is any water dripping from the vent pipe. as to the causes it could be a problem with the expansion vessel,problem with the pump,or the filling valve could be passing (I know no-one ever does but you are supposed to take the filling loop off after filling)
