my boiler water pressure is reading 0.5 bar and it will not go up when i turn on the filling loop what can i do?the boiler is a glowworm 24ci
Ok it goes like this....the most common problem is the filling tap/repressure tap whatever you wanna call it. Its a bad design and breaks regularly. If you have to order another I would order a spare as well (part code 801907). The valve inside these things is tiny and can break very easily if you TIGHTEN IT TOO MUCH....thumb pressure is all that is needed...and not to much either.
The second thing to check if you are able to repressure your system is the thermostat - b*****r to get at but try a reset.....test the system again....
If that fails its the discharge safety valve - check ya manual and you will find it - they can scale up so take the b*****r off....chuck it in some vinegar for an hour if you live in a hard water area and then pop it back on!
If you live in soft water area it might just simply have failed....these valves are not the best in the world ya know....well in my opinion!!!
