:(

i have a potterton boiler, and recently it loses pressure daily. i have to top it up 2 - 3 times a day. i cant find an obvious leak anywhere, so what else could it be ?

any ideas would be appreciated, as i am about to have a baby any minute now, so would like to have working heating.

thanks debbie

if there are no obvius leaks
check your expansion vessel for system charge pressure
to do this you should find a black cap like the one you find on your car tyre remove it and depress the valve you should have air coming out of it if you have water then you need to replace it Shocked
