pressure

Hi All I have just moved into a new house in deepest west Wales. It is a recently converted old farm house. It is a modest sized house with about a dozen radiators. The plumbing is relatively quite new (about 10 years). In the corner of our utility room the is an absolutely huge pressure vessel...

Hi, I have recently moved into a new build apartment block (the building was completed in 2018). I live on a fifth floor and the water pressure here is pretty bad. The block has a communal central boiler and all apartments have water pressure valves/gauges on the main cold water pipe marked as...

Hi, just looking for some advice before I get a plumber in to investigate this for us. we moved in to a detached house 3 years ago, house is about 20 years old with a gravity fed system. Boiler was replaced about 6 years ago. During recent kitchen refit, fitters suggested our water pressure was...

Hi, We need to presurise our Vaillant Ecotec 24, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be a handle on the valve? Any tips on how we can presurise? I've posted a picture for reference.

First time living in a house with a combi. When I run the cold tap it triggers the combi hot water setting, I've checked the pipes and they are all connected correctly. The combi is just over a metre from the cold tap, is this just the slight pressure drop triggering as the boiler is so close to...

Hi, Our boiler pressure is currently reading at 0. The heating is still working (not too sure how or why!), but I think we need to increase the pressure as some radiators are not bleeding (no air or water coming out). I’m trying to work out where I need to put the filling tube but I’m not...

I have a 2yr old Ideal Logic C35 boiler which is losing pressure 5 to 6 times a day. To diagnose whether it was the boiler or system, I done the following: 1 At 1am when the boiler hadn't been used for over 2hrs, I put the pressure upto 2 bars. 2 I isolated the boiler by turning the CH flow and...

Hi All, I recently moved to a new place. I am noticing a significant fluctuation in the pressure at operation (given my limited past experience) in the gas boiler and I just wanted to check whether that is ok for this model/seek some advice. Details -Vailant turbomax plus -small 2 floor...

New Vaillant Ecotec pro 30 boiler installed in August, worked OK for two months then the pressure suddenly dropped. Tried to raise it but it shot right up and made a very loud constant noise that we could only stop by turning water completely off. So no heating or water at all for a few days...

Hi just after some advice or if there is anything I can do before calling an engineer out. We have been in our home 2 years and the boiler is about 10 years old baxi duo tec 33 boiler I believe and never had an issue. We are having a problem now where as when the heating is on its perfectly...

Hi, I've got a Main combi eco 25. When CH is running a lot, the pressure reaches 3 bar and the PRV seems to kick in as I can see a slow dribble from the outside pipe. I think what happens next is when CH is off for a while, the temp drops and the pressure also drops low enough so that the...

Hi, I moved into a the upper part of a two storey house in April this year. The previous owners installed a Baxi Platinum combi boiler a few years ago which was working fine until about 4 weeks ago. I started getting E133 errors on the boiler (the instruction flap on the boiler lists this as a...

Hello, Recently moved to a new rental place. The Vaillant EcoTec Pro 24 boiler was empty (I think for quite a while), refilled it via the loop to 1.5 bar & bled the radiators to remove any air. One of the valves (the smaller handle) in the filling loops leaks very slightly but I don't think...

Hi all Unfamiliar boiler and was told over the phone how to top up the pressure, however the boiler in question is a Vokera Compact HE and the taps/valves underneath the boiler are arranged as follows: Yellow (Left), Black screw valve marked 'Vokera Adjustable Stopcock' (Right). Following...

I have a problem with my Vokera 25he boiler losing pressure when the central heating warms up. The pressure sits steady at 1.5 until the radiators reach temp and then drops to zero within the hour. I have 5 radiators on the ground floor and 2 on the first. One radiator on the first floor has...

Hi everyone, I’m having some strange issues with my boiler that has our usual heating guy stumped and I’m hoping one of you friendly DIYers will be able to help. It’s a Logic Combi 24 losing pressure, around 0.5 bar every 24 hours. I turned the boiler off and isolated the central heating feed...

I moved into a new build around 18 months ago, and I consider myself a competent DIYer. Before I ask the builder to come and look at my plumbing I wanted to get some opinion on an odd issue we've been having. Our showers don't get hot (we've got two of them). It was most noticeable (probably...

Any advice appreciated... I have just had a complete replumb and new unvented cylinder and boiler installed. We only have 15mm inlet mains, but I seem to lose pressure and flow between the stop valve/outside tap and the upstairs bathroom. I have different flow rates and pressures throughout...

Hi in faq it says ... If you can't find one you can use a radiator bleed point, but that's in a pinch, because you'll be letting several litres of water out. Drain enough water from the system to drop the water pressure as read on the boiler gauge, to Zero. Close the drain cock. The boiler is...

Hi, so we have a potterson promax so boiler and a water tank ... we have gas however the boiler has completely cut out and there is no hot water or heating, the pressure on the tank is very low... how do I increase the pressure? I have tried turning both valves but nothing happens - pictures for...
