VAILLANT ECOTEC VUW PRO 24 28 EXPANSION VESSEL 181051

Product Information

The pressure relief valve could also be letting by. Or, the filling loop on the Vaillant boiler could be slightly open or damaged. Do I need to turn my boiler off to repressurise? I then just refilled the boiler, vented it and tested the system. It?s a nice easy job that shouldn?t take more than an hour. What Else Can Cause This Problem? Split Expansion Vessel To find out which it is, you can tie a carrier bag to the end of the copper blow-off pipe outside. Boiler blow-off pipe Other causes of the pressure going too high on a Vaillant Ecotec are the boiler?s built in filling loop letting by. This is the part of the boiler that lets you top up the system pressure if it goes down. Sometimes these valves don?t close properly and keep letting water in the boiler.

I'm no expert at all but from reading lots it points to the expansion vessel either needing a recharge or is failing/failed. I see that you can test the Schrader value for water. I also read that vessels last around 10 years, which if true means we're fairly close to it.What I have learned and understand so far is that there should be a release of air from the valve when activated when the boiler is switched on or off. If your Vaillant boiler is losing pressure overnight you will have a leak somewhere on your heating system or the pressure relief valve is letting the water out. The pressure rises when the heating is on, so you will not get the proper reading until it has cooled down. Vaillant boilers are sometimes undersized when fitted and are not large enough to cope with a large house’s central heating system. Knowing how to release pressure on a Vaillant boiler might save you from some boiler problems. If you repressurise a Vaillant boiler too much and cause the pressure to go too high, you will need to release the pressure.

When opening the drain point do you need to open all valves up on the rads and then open the bleed valves or can you just literally open the drain point and draw off 10 litres and then shut off the drain? Next attach a hose to a drain off somewhere on the heating system and open the valve, leave it open until the water stops coming out.....Recognised Grundfos high-efficiency pump - Modulating high-torque pump uses low energy to deliver a balanced output to meet the boiler demand, helping to reduce energy consumption
