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.



Water meter?Â* Ours has a 1 pulse/litre which would give a cross-check
when averaged over a few days.

No meter. I could unhitch the end of the filling loop hose and time it
into a container if I wanted. However that does really seem to be
focussing on the wrong problem.


I just thought that if it turned out to be a lot less then a couple of
litres it'd be less to worry about.Â* Anyhow, I realise now a check on
the amount is probably a lot easier: note the pressure before filling;
then after filling drain into a container to get back to the initial mark.

That would work (although I would need to drain from elsewhere, since
the filling loop connection has a non return valve on it).
