Possible Causes

Leaking pump gasket, Corroded heat exchanger on Weishaupt boiler, Dripping automatic air vent, Faulty safety valve discharging

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off power and, if leak is significant, close the system isolation valves. Beware of hot water and surfaces.

  • Identify leak source: Remove the front panel and use a torch to trace the leak. Look at pump unions, heat exchanger joints, air vents, and the safety valve outlet.
  • Check safety valve: If water is coming from the safety valve discharge pipe, system pressure may be too high or the valve may be faulty. Verify pressure and expansion vessel function.
  • Tighten unions: Gently tighten any weeping compression or union joints. Do not overtighten plastic components.
  • Replace faulty components: If the pump gasket, air vent, or safety valve is leaking, replace with genuine Weishaupt or compatible parts.

When to call a professional: Heat exchanger leaks or persistent safety valve discharge require a heating engineer.
