Low water pressure on boiler
How prone are heat only boilers to low water pressure issues particularly with showers and flow issues? Is this a common problem with this type of boiler? If so, how can I avoid this issue? I’d like a heat only boiler but I’m concerned about water pressure and flow problems.

"Your losing pressure for a reason either rad valves letting by weeping or trv heads leaking could even be the prv letting off because pressurising could be a split in the coil in the hot water cylinder"

"If you have a combi low pressure all depends on ur mains pressure if you have a tank fed system it all depends on the distance between header tank and top of cylinder. Should it be poor on tank fed a booster pump is a good result"
