Hi,
I've an old gas boiler at home which suddenly started dripping water from the safety valve.
Few days back the boiler
started making some strange noise and nearly a pint of water came out of the safety valve. After
this, it continously started dripping water(few drops) from the valve every time the boiler is
starts to heat the water.
I called a professional boiler repairer and he replaced the valve but water is still dripping.
Could somebody please tell me is the process of water coming out of valve normal or is there
something wrong in the boiler? Another problem is water is dripping out of the valve on to the
boiler and I'm worried if it is spoiling anything inside. Though its dripping very few drops of
water, I'm sure it will damage the boiler. Isn't it?
I called the boiler repairer this morning and he asked me to tighten the screw which is below the valve to stop the water reaching the valve. I read in this forum that if I stop water reaching the valve it will burst the other pipes reaching the boiler. Is it correct?
I would appreciate if anybody suggest me what to do with this problem. Should I call the repairer and ask him to replace the valve again?
Please advice me.
Thanks
