I have a burnham boiler about 4 year sold a V8-3

It keeps building up pressure ; I let out a littel water to reduce pressure and it builds up again quickly/ over 22
Got any ideas

thanks\\

Jim welcome to the forum It sounds like there is a problem with the pressure vessel. To be on the safe side you better call in a professional with this kind of jobs.

1- check the automatic fill valve (SET between 12 -15 PSI)

Check the expansion tank make sure it is not water logged, Check the tank less coil if applicable.

22 PSI is NOT excessive as it depends on the static head of YOUR system
