Whale expanse under floor water heater

[Soots]

Hi, I have an Eldiss CV20 2020 model with a dripping drain valve! Has anyone else had problems with one?
It's been repaired two weeks ago,
but is still incontinent!
Going back again tomorrow
Regards Soots.

limescale/grit or slight crack in the drain valve. Some workshops think a quick flush is sufficient, but if the issue persists, it needs a new valve

I thought they put a new valve on when I was a fortnight ago?
I'm getting it looked at again.
This time I'll check it before I leave!
Thanks for the reply Big1.

Ours kept dripping having closed off the valve from being left open over winter last year.
I cured it by heating up the water in our Whale water heater and then gently opened the valve a bit to let hot water run over the seal for 30 seconds or so.
The heat softened up the seal and it has been fine since.

Thanks I opened and closed it when upto temperature to blow any obstruction out, to no avail.
But I'll try that now.

Hi tried it twice! No go I'm afraid,
But thanks, if it had worked it would have save me a round trip of a100 miles!
Have been to Daventry,
It's a pressure release, it's supposed to do it! Grrrr
