How To: Boiler Losing Pressure

In this video I attend a Gas boiler losing water pressure. I show you how I check and repair the most common issue related to pressure problems. The expansion vessel on the boiler has a simple job of absorbing the excess expansion of water in your heating system when it is on and running. If the vessel doesn't do this the pressure relief valve will begin to leak. This will cause overnight press...

Great video, couldn’t find instructions in Vaillant installation manual so googled it & found to it video, knew it would be a good one as Iv seen your vids before! Top notch stuff’ I’m gonna try impeller kit first Thanks
hi ollie you must be very busy as am having withdrawl problems not sure if your still doing the vidoes {content} on u tube as i am a big fan of yours think i'v binged all your vids. hope your well look forward to more from you or ?
I have 5 nearly ready but no mojo at the moment. Sorry, I will get back to it sooner or later 🙂Thanks for commenting I do appreciate it :-)
The most usual cause of ignition failure on Worcester boilers is dirt build up on the flame sensing probe. It’s amazing how little dirt can cause this problem. Great video - will help a lot of engineers.
Thanks for sharing
Had a D'Oh!! moment when you explained why the phials need water round the pocket and the Stat won't necessarily "click" unless within their temperature range. Thanks for explaining this and dropping back to oil boilers again.
Thanks for commenting. I done a few videos on Oil now. :-)
Legend always the best videos
Thanks :-)
The PRV cant always twll failed with dripping outside - you can just take pipe off bottom of valve and with pressure; it drips = change prv. If the pressure continues to rise even after what you have done = check filling loop/link isnt passing! ✌️🤟 Legend lad!!
Thanks for sharing
Already subscribed!! I just bought this gun, will the 12g CO2 air rifle cartridges work with it? Ta
Its always worked out well for me :-)
Although these watering cans are as good as a chocolate fireguard. They are not too bad to work on.
They keep us earning so no problems here :-)
Good tip, for me didn't work. As the blockages was beyond shift able. But handy.
Its worked for me many times :-)
I know it was years ago but your a man after my own t doing things logically and clearly explaining
No problem :-) It was years ago too :-)
I get same fluctuations on temp readings then cuts out , but no error code?
blocked or electrical issue I would think :-)
Great content mate,
Thanks for the visit. Im glad you like it :-)
Your James bond of heating and plumbing hahaha
Just getting it done and getting home :-)
I always trying to see if any new videos are out of yours
I done 1 a week for about 4 months this year. Having some time off now. :-)
Wow Ollie❤. A bit hard for a newbie like me to digest. Deffo one for keeps just incase.. thanks Ollie
Its one of them things that as long as you know the problem exists then you can find the answer.
My hot water out of the tap is brownish colour after replacing a radiator and adding inhibitor to the system, do you think it is sludge coming out of the system? Or would you know what it could be. When I run it for a while the water goes near to clear
What type of cylinder do you have? If it's prismatic that could be the problem.
great to have you back ollie love the videos from a proper engineer!
Thank you! I’ve just used this at my disabled mums house there the top of her cold water tap has come off and was gushing. I turned the water off and did what you said in this video and it’s stopped! OK it’s still going to need a plumber to replace the taps but it’s no longer an emergency call out as there are other bathrooms
Nice, glad it helped.:-)
Another top vid… what courses do you recommend for going into commercial.. i mean courses specifically for the boilers ?
I have done Worcester and Viessmann. But to be honest the systems are more difficult to understand. The boilers are just bigger.
@@HeatingGeek any courses you know of that focus more on the systems ?
I work in Stroud worst area ever for hard water this will save me some time cheers.
It's a great time saver. :-)
I have this boiler no fault codes water works but heating doesn't and changed thermostat and pressure valve could it be the circuit board
Press the i button and see what it says when the heating is meant to be on. :-)
Ollie where’s your cape.😂😂😂. You applied proper experience. Top job buddy❤
I tuck it in so it doesn't get oil on it... :-/
@@HeatingGeek 🤣🤣😅
Great vid mate commercial side so much more interesting what kw was each boiler there mate
Im not sure, 80 or 100 I think. I did video the data badge but I cut it out. You do commercial?
There's a good app called EOGB oil nozzle calculater if you dont have the exact nozzle needed. Calculates the required oil pressure to achieve kw output👌🏻
Was thinking issue with the Photocell. Very common on oil. Sight tube out of alighnment = No Photocell. Not 100% on the blueflame boilers, but I know on the standard stuff to run them a little lean to keep them clean around 11% on the co2
Learned oil, but dont do it because it stinks your tools and clothes out. And I can't deal with 250 kilo combis by myself or knackered oil tanks that need changing.
I have no smell so it doesn't matter to me :-)
@@HeatingGeek 🤣
Try muck boots. Very very comfortable. Great vid Ollie
Thanks, I will look into them ;-)
Tiger loop not suitable for internal use Olly 👍 plastic
Yeah, loads like it and I did advise. I have a metal Gok on the van but only one. :-)
Takes a brave man to take on commercial oil as a newbie.
Nah, just a boiler, A weird burner but nothing too difficult. What's a really difficult oil boiler?
Great video mate! Does your mrs make you take your clothes off at the door after a day of oil or is it just mine ffs 😭🤣
Sometimes she will tell me they stink and wash them straight away but usually I don't think she notices :-\
Didn’t like the pump gauge jumping around a bit. Could be an issue with the oil.
If I don't bleed the air out of my gauge it does that. ;-) I want a digital one but not sure what to get. Any advise?
How did you learn all this olly?
Getting stuck in. Don't bill for my time. Bill for my results, That way clients don't pay anymore money for me to learn on site. :-)
The back of your van reminded me of little Als van where everything had to go in its place otherwise it wouldn't fit in and Al would moan 🤣 which he was pretty good at 🤣
He loved a moan. I don't remember his vans being messy or tidy. Long time since we worked together. How are his family doing?
Yeah als Mrs and kids are doing well thanks and u must remember being whinged at about rolling his hose up properly or mistaking a slip coupling with a normal one or finding a 15mm straight compression fitting for a 1/2" male iron to copper because one of the nuts had come off one of the ends 😂😂😂 the good old days 😂
@@aaronchapman6994 I remember the hose thing :-) We were the same with that. He used to hammer 2" screws into floorboards. "Crinkle cut nails" we called them. I reached out to Ed to see if he could send some work my way but he ignored me..
Hi Ollie have you stopped doing domestic work and why have you started to do commercial gas work instead of
I needed a new challenge. I was done with domestic when I started this channel, so been trying to do something else for 7 years.
Nice job 👍
Thank you :-)
This commercial is another level to is domestic guys 👍
It's a little different but only takes a couple of years to feel it out. :-)
@@HeatingGeek fix and repair monthly🤣
@@jamescarter1088 We call it JRS. Job Retention Scheme
Did you then unblock it? I'd there the video, May I please have the link to it?
I let the chemicals do their job and the boiler has been fine ever since. Still going strong. :-)
If the customer power flushed the system would thay have helped stop the issue from preventing in the future?
Yes it would. :-) Do you have the same problem?
Nice one Ollie. That was a useful one. Bags of space in there unlike the newer ones where prv is almost impossible❤
yeah, Not too bad. :-)
Ahahahahha “rapey price” 😂🤣
Nicely done. Every boiler room fit out I fit a 1/2” close tapered nipple with a 1/2” lever valve then the AAV. Makes it that much easier 😂 (no my firm don’t spec that but I do it anyway) 👊 same thing on pig tails w/gauges always pop service valves on them
We usually do that too. But on the last day when you realise you didn't pick them up....... :-)
I’d agree with some comments cut out and clean or repipe close coupling
I don't get paid for that though :-)
@@HeatingGeek well if it clears it all well and good but as you and I know it will build back up .But you’re a good lad so no worries 😊
If I get 30 day's out of it I get paid again to unblock it :-)
That’s why you’re rich lol 😊
@@brianhutchinson970 I wish. But I'm happy :-)
What tool bag are you using please?
Kline Backpack amzn.to/3UsqaON :-)
@@HeatingGeek thank you 🙏
No problem :-)
😅 Well done you in my field now, I have to subscribe , fed up working with in smaller range
Its a nicer life tbh :-) Where do you work?
Them commercial magnacleans are not cheap just looked them up as never seen one before. Thanks for posting your content always a great watch :)
My pleasure! This one didn't do as well as others so I might re name it :-)
I’ve replaced 13 caps on a biomass boiler board the other day. Worked well and saved the customer near 4k 👍🏻 All caps failed on the ESR meter but multimeter showed fine just low. So you need to have the rite gear
Yes mate, 100%. 17 is a lot on 1 PCB. What brand of biomass?
@@HeatingGeek it was a Lindner & Sommerauer 250kw 👍🏻
I hope you charged enough :-)
@@HeatingGeek charged like a rhino 🦏 mate 😂
Great variety of work, thanks for taking the time to put these videos out. Saves a lot of time doing the sump that way, I never drain them now.
Glad you like them! I really appreciate the comment too. Thanks :-)
Top vid again Ollie 👍 Could you do a vid on schematics of different commercials heating systems you come across on the commercial side of things. Would like to maybe give commercial side a go but want to learn more about the systems layout as it looks overwhelming haha
Great suggestion! But honestly I don't think I could. Loads of different types and I would go down a rabbit hole :-)
@@HeatingGeek could you keep it simple and do common ones what would benefit a novice going into commercial to give good fundamentals of system would be brilliant 🤩
I could do that. :-) I will if I come across one thats easy to film. Usually there is lots of stuff in the way. :-)
Pressure gauge shows 3..how do i bring it down?
Make sure the filling loops is closed and bleed some radiators.
Thanks once again
No problem :-)
You got an O ring with a baxi part? They must have been feeling generous! The price for that part was disgusting... you need to get yourself a gopro or a 360 what ever there called. Might take abit more beating..
I have one but cant be assed to use it. :-)
