Hi, there's a number of things that could cause this. Firstly, your system could be draining naturally through an improperly closed or faulty valve. Secondly, your radiators could need bleeding, and doing this has a remarkable effect on pressure. Thirdly, if the boiler is getting too hot, air could be being created that way too, it may need turning down slightly. We had a British Gas safety done on ours last year that identified many of these. Not sure how well fixed they were as I'm no longer there but I know it had made a big improvement.

Hello All,Sorry for the O/T posting but I'm sure that some people on here will be able to compare notes and give valuable feedback.I have had an Ideal Isar combi-boiler now for a year and am of the opinion that the pipework may be leaking under the downstairs floor boards. Other people I have spoken to (but with different boilers) tell me that they rarely, if ever, have to top up the pressure in their central heating system. However, I find that I have to do this every three or four weeks. The pressure will have fallen from the recommended 1.5 bars to only 0.5 bars or even lower, causing the boiler to become noisy with a vibrating effect.Does anyone else find this to be the case with these boilers and systems? I am about to report it to the fitters but wanted to know what the norm for the frequency of pressure top up of these systems is firstly from any other users.All contributions appreciated.
