Don't you think that with all the innovations in boilers and the

there has to be a problem.

If th epressure gets low then the boiler shuts down and shows a fault.
Surely better than it automatically topping up just under the treshold for
a warning..


An older open vented system with a header tank will just keep topping
itself up until you notice the leak. ;-)
