Hi Digger,

It sounds like your pressure relief valve is defective.The pressure relief valve, a safety device, commonly dumps to the bilge. If it's defective the calorifier will not pressurize. It is a simple device, spring loaded. It could be that the spring has corroded. switch off the pump and take off the device. You should not be able to blow through it. If you can the spring is gone. Happily they are not very expensive.

Regards

Mick
