The Baxi E119
Baxi E119 meaning low system pressure usually below 0.5 bar occurs when water has leaked out of heating system circuit or a switch has failed in the boilers fail safe components.
So many times i have met clients who have advised
The last engineer just showed that i do this, to top up the pressure!
STOP! please do not just keep filling the boiler with fresh water, Why not?.
Fresh water especially in the UK is full of so many chemicals which is damaging to the system and boiler. One of the main elements is O2, Oxygen. Our water when filling the system should always be neutralised with an inhibitor to prevent the oxygen from reacting with the inner body of radiators causing them to slowly corrode.
When the system drops pressure air is then held in the system which mixed with the fresh oxygenated water rapidly speeds up the corrosive process.
Creating SLUDGE!. Which eventually builds up and cause 95% of all breakdowns.
