Boiler Losing Pressure in Randfontein
System pressure falls and the boiler needs repeated topping up. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on boilers in Randfontein.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Mining and industrial sites with boiler plant and bulk hot water requirements. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.
