Halstead Eden CBX 32

[kmaz]

Hoping someone can help.
We have inherited a Halstead boiler. So far so good with it, but I have noticed that the pressure guage reads just below 1 bar when in use, and drops down to 0.5 ish when idle. Shouldn't it be slightly higher than that? I have looked to increase the pressure slightly, but can't actually see any valves to enable me to do this. Can anyone give me some pointers?
Thanks in advance.

Needs to be approx 1.2 bar, with the boiler cold.

Not familiar with this boiler. Have you got a filling loop?

Hi. There is a filling loop but no lever to open it up. Could it be possible that we need to use an adjustable spanner to open and close the valve and they just havn't made it easy to do by installing a plastic one?

They might have braken off. Not always very robust.

Turn the valves with small spanner, grips, etc.

internal filling loop on these and yes a small spanner (8mm if i remember) is best to open the 2 valves = absolute pain in the aris to use !! good luck you need about 1.2 - 1.4 with system cold or 1.7 - 1.9 if hot.
