Hi,

I'd just gotten the boiler working OK but now its decided to act up.

The problem is this:

When running the hot tap the CH pressure will shoot up and then back down (Im guessing as the Prx Release valve activates).

I'm pretty skint at the moment so getting plumber to come have a look is out of the question.

I'm pretty handy with a spanner so if the solution is simple and reletively cheap i'll give it go.

Cheers,
Shaun.

Does the pressure go back down to normal or do you have to recharge the system each time that this happens?

Hi,

Prx goes back to normal. It also locks itself out and has to be reset.

Cheers,
Shaun.

Sounds like your pump is sticking or not working.
Does it grumble at the same time.
