Tribune Range - how to increase the pressure

Nikhil Walvekar · 3 Apr 2020

Hi Team,

I stay at an apartment which has a hot water cylinder, the pressure value reads low value of 0.2. I need to bring it up to around 1.5 as informed by the heat supply company.

Can someone please help me with the valves to be used to get this sorted. Really appreciate your help here. Attached are few images of the boiler.

Thanks,
Nikhil

About halfway down the cylinder there are 2 capped off isolation valves. There should be a braided hose loose somewhere nearby which you need to connect between these valves after you've removed the caps. Open both black taps and you'll hear the water going in and see the pressure rise. Close the valves remove the link hose and replace the caps when finished.

Or as your in an apartment and any leak would show.....get a foot pump and recharge the red vessel.
