New boiler - pressure dropping

[Last Plumber]

No it's not bad. Don't panic !
It's sometimes a better idea dependent on your system.

If it's a regular boiler, it won't have valves like a system boiler would.

I would advise you get the Installer out to check it over. That boiler has a seven year warranty doesn't it ?

thanks for re-assuring me! the boiler has 7 years warranty.

He told me he was installing a system boiler - oh well!

I hope this won’t invalidate the warranty.

It's a perfectly acceptable system set up. Don't worry and definitely won't invalidate anything. Get him back though to take a look

Does this imply the condensate test mentioned earlier won’t work?

Not if you can't isolate the boiler and you probably can't. That's why it's best to get him back to check over it. It may be a problem with your existing system and therefore a separate. issue to the new boiler

Sometimes, changing from open vented to sealed will show up leaks that went unnoticed before the change

Additionally and as regards the engineer that installed it.

The regular boiler is cheaper but there is more work and material involved in fitting it so it would possibly end up the same cost. He may have decided so fit that because it will work out a better idea for your particular circumstances !

So I went ahead with the condensate test. With the boiler turned off, I simply disconnected the hose at the boiler end and placed a container beneath to catch any water over night.

This morning i measured approx 50ml of water caught in the container. I noticed it was still slowly dripping so i swapped the container for a fresh one. Having returned after an 1.5 hours there was approx 1 tablespoon of water in the container. I hope these results are meaningful.

Surely this water cant be condensate??
