Hi All,

I've got a Worcester 4000. Never had a combination boiler before. After 14 mths message came on saying pressure was 0.9 and to top up. I topped it to 1.3. Four months later (today 28th of February) it's reading 1br. Boiler has been used pretty much constantly through the winter. Is this normal? I've checked all radiator points for leaks but not found anything.
The boiler is on my elderly mum's so not worried about it.

Thanks
 
You shouldn't be losing pressure within four months.

Did you bleed any radiators within this time period?

If not, chances are there is a very minor leak on the system. Was there any recent work carried out?
 
From 1.3 to 1 bar in 4 months is nothing to worry about. Topping up a couple of times a year is not unusual.

No bleeding and nothing been done on the system.
 
a tiny tiny leak that small over that length of time would be neigh on impossible to find . and is nothing to worry about
