Default Looking for a leak

Any bright ideas?


I cut strips of kitchen paper and tie it around every possible leaking
joint.

I live in a hard water area so even if the water evaporates I get
calcium deposits after a few weeks or months, these can be felt by the
paper going slightly hard and discoloured.


Handy tip, ta.

Two litres sounds a lot. How do you measure it?


I can't directly - I can only estimate by how long I turn the filling
loop on to restore the pressure, and compare that time with filling a
container at the kitchen tap. We have high water pressure (~6 bar), so
it can shift a fair amount in a few seconds.
