Find a drain cock somewhere and put a garden hose on it, undo until pressure OK.

But first check your pressure relief pipe - if it has peed out of there you may as well let some more out of the same route. Find the red knob and turn it. If the PRV pipe is dry then DON'T turn the red knob, use the drain cock.

Problem is that them prv valves usually keep leaking once they've let water out, so you might need a new one.

)
the pressure is rising after you close everything
have yoe tryed taking the fill loop off

If your sure you have turned off the fill loop taps then remove the flexi hose, you wont get wet if turned off. the pressure should drop as you remove water from the system as long as you have not shut off the flow and return isolateing valves.
