I have had a baxi bahama in my bungalow now for around 4 years and have a fault with the central heating side of it .i keep loosing water and am forever topping it up if i forget to check and water gets to low then the boiler cuts out and i have to top up with water and reset we have checked all likley areas where we could be losing water but can not find any. the snag is we had the pipes under the floor when we had bungalow built but surely their would be some sign of dampness any body out there got any suggestionsdonald.edwards2 at ntlworld.com
Hi, I had a similar problem some time ago on a customers system and at first could not find any leak to justify the slow loss of water. Eventually I found that there was a leak in the heating coil inside the Hot water cylinder. This corrosion would have been caused by electrolysis, and although possible to change just the coil, I found it more economic to fit a new cylinder. Problem solved for my customer.
May be the answer to your problem as well!
Good luck.
