    Hi
    I have an underfloor heating system with a leak that has get progressively worse in recent weeks. I used to top up the pressure maybe once a month but in recent weeks im now topping it up at least weekly and it takes longer to fill.
    There is no obvious wet spots on the floor, bulging tiles or leaks from the visible pipework. Im located in south Co.Meath if that makes any difference.
    Has anyone had a similar issue and how was the leak located?
    Would a thermal camera or pressure test on each circuit work?

    How many circuits/zones are on the system and start to isolate them to see which one drops the pressure. I'm sure someone with the same experience will reply shortly.

    I have found them before using thermal imaging equipment but it's not always successful unfortunately.
