Easily repressurise your boiler system
"Low pressure in a boiler or heating system is normally associated with water loss or micro leaks. It can also be a result of somebody venting air from the radiators and not topping the water back up again," explains Martyn Bridges, our Director of External Affairs.
"Micro leaks are very difficult to locate, they normally are so small that you don’t actually see any water stains. The most common area for micro leaks is around the radiator valves or air vent point. A slight discolouration normally is all that can be seen, as the tiny amount of water seeping through the valve or air vent evaporates from the heat."
