Expert Answer from CANRO
A small amount of pressure fluctuation during normal operation is normal. However, persistent pressure loss that requires weekly repressurization indicates a problem. Common causes include slow leaks in pipework, a failed expansion vessel, or air being released from the system. Professional pressure testing can locate hidden leaks.
