Why Does The Vaillant boiler F22 Error Keep Happening?
Periodically over time due to the heating and cooling over time the water will evaporate away out the microscpic joints in your central heating system.
The time this takes varies from each central heating system but,
I have found from experience it happens more often on systems with plastic pipe.
Saying this though you shouldnt really have to be doing more often than once or twice a year. Although I have known some centralheating to have not needed topping up in over 4/5 years it really does vary from system to system.
