boiler losing pressure
i have an electric allied boiler that will drop its pressure to zero when not used for a day or so. I replaced auto feed, expansion tank, check valve. i closed off all zones to be sure no leak out there, still losing pressure. when boiler kicks back on small amount of water enters through auto feed- not much-pressure shoots back up to 12 psi and all is well..no water loss from boiler anywhere. whats going on? boiler runs great but this is confusing0 -
Hmmm
What's the air pressure in the expansion tank when the system is off, cold and the tank is empty?0
