How do I pressurise a potterton puma boiler

quillig · 8 Jan 2007

Hi all,
My boiler pressure has gone below 1bar and the LP light has come on,
I get hot water (at a trickle) and althought the boiler fires to for Central heating the pump will not start.
I was bleeding a radiator upstairs, and the pressure just stopped.
I don't have a braided U shape section as shown in the FAQ.
As I stand in front of the boiler, left to right I can see a gas inlet pipe, 2 15mm pipes and 1 large pipe with a red valve and 1 large pipe with a blue valve and a pressure overflow pipe.
How do I identify the filling loop? help!

the best way to pressurise a potterton boiler is to tell it that if it doesnt start working you will replace it with a saunier duval it always works i find

That`s like telling the wife you`re leaving her for a fat bird!
