The boiler fires but pressure will not build to the operating setpoint. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on steam systems in Northwold Ext.

Northwold Ext is an extension of Randburg with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.
