System pressure falls and the boiler needs repeated topping up. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on boilers in Steyn City.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Steyn City is an estate development adjoining Fourways, with standardised heat pump and geyser installations fitted at build and now reaching first major service intervals. Where a site runs on borehole water, hardness and iron content shorten service intervals considerably and are worth testing before setting a maintenance plan.

Isolate sections and pressure test; Expansion vessel charge check; Inspect safety valve discharge for flow; Verify gauge against a calibrated instrument. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
