Mend Baxi puma 80e Combi Boiler Water Pressure Safety Valve

problem with hot water been expelled....please help! thanks?

My combi boiler (model puma 80e) saddenly started expelling hot water with lot of pressure into the garden from the pipe I think is connected to the safety valve. Do anyone know the cause? After that appened, the water pressure went down to zero, so I tried to pressure it up again, but the water went straight out again. I never had problem before! What can I do to bring it back to normal? Many thanks.

HI Marco,
It sounds as if you expansion vessel is either under-charged or has failed and needs replacing.

Also, when you do top up your system pressure, make sure its 1-1.5bar when cold.
