Hi All.

Firstly my apologies if this is a trade only forum. I'm not in the trade, just your average 'customer'. The 'Customers!' thread in here made me laugh. Promise I'm not one of them :)

I have had a few different plumbers round who can't seem to fix the issue i have.

I have a Remeha Avanta Plus boiler that over a period of about a month the pressure drops to 0. As the pressure approaches 0 the boiler makes a water hissing/chattering from what looks like a brass diaphragm on the top left of the boiler. Topping up the boiler to return the pressure stops this and then the cycle is repeated.

Ive had two plumbers that can't find a fault and a third that just said 'it is what it is'. Now as much as i could expect over a year or maybe 6 months pressure changes/loss/evaporation etc etc its seems a fair amount in a month and i dont really like the diaphragm ****ing black water over everything.

Could anyone point me in the right direction, recommend a local plumber to sort. Im in bradford west yorks.

Thanks
