BAXI COMBI PRESSURE PROBLEMS

[louise - swansea]

my pressure gauge is on 0 and its suppose to be between 1.5 and 2. Please can someone tell me how to increase the pressure? And if your going to tell me to use valves etc please can you tell me where to find them and what they look like. thanks

the valve\s may be connected to either end of a braided stainless steel hose (either little black plastic handles or slots on the valve bodies that will open with a screw driver). - have a look and report back

crystal bowl on the van . what sort of boiler? may be a tap under the boiler attached to a silver hose , if there is turn it on and take pressure to 1 bar

you have a leak somewhere

check the overflow out of the back of the boiler and report back
