    Boiler losing pressure
    Our 18month old baxi boiler keeps losing pressure and so does not work until I go up into the attic and physically turn open the tap to let more pressure in ( once or twice a week) How can I fix this please?

I accidentally left the valve on my forced hot water heater open, the one above the expansion tank, (I thought I could purge it and close it like my other ones) any way it was just letting out steam and the water won't circulate. Will it automatically build pressure now that I closed it?
