Hi All,

Is there any special precautions necessary/possible to safeguard a
combi boiler after long-term loss of the water supply? It is likely
that our supply will be reinstated this week.

I do intend to run the water from an outside tap until it's running
clear first.

I have a W-B Highflow combi BTW.

TIA, M

If the radiators were not drained thn I feel that apart from driving out any
air by running the hot taps all should be well. Check the pressure gauge.
(Does it have a header tank or a filling loop?)

It has a filling loop - but the CH circuit is sealed and the pressure
was fine last time I checked. I was concerned about possible
dirt from the mains cold getting into the boiler.
