Boiler repressurise question

[carden]

Hi.

I have a Vaillant EcoTec Pro boiler. I've just tried to repressurise it as it's down to 0.5 bar. I seem to have only one valve for the filling loop though and when I turn it, water starts leaking out. (I quickly closed it again.) Should I be worried? I didn't wait a long time after turning off the boiler so maybe that's the problem?

Thanks.

you would be best to take it up to 1 bar with a bowl and a towel under the filling valve, they leak all the time, as long as the leak stops when you close the valve it will be fine, they are cheap rubbish

Great. Thanks, Ian.
