My boiler (Glow Worm Swift Flow) is showing high pressure. It moves between 2.5 and 3.5. I noticed on Sat Afternoon that there was hardly any water coming out of my hot water tap but the cold tap was not as bad. I called Thames Water as we recently had a water mains on our main road burst but they fixed it. I wanted to know if this could be affecting our water again. They told me that no, there are no problems in my area and why am I calling them to tell them my hot water is not running correctly, I should look at my boiler and increase the pressure of it. I looked at my boiler and the pressure was at 1.5, like always. However, we let more water into the system like we were advised to do by Thames Water. This didn't increase the amount of water coming out of the taps. We left it and hoped it would fix itself by the morning! In the morning, no change apart from the pressure was reading 3.5. I called Thames Water and they told me they HAVE got problems in the area, people had been ringing in since yesterday afternoon! So there was nothing wrong with my boiler in the first place and the woman at Thames Water was advising wrongly, which has made me very angry. Since then I have bled my radiators but the pressure is still high, at 2.5 and when heating is turned on goes up to 3.5 then settles at 2.5 after 1/2 hour. I have been told to bled the radiators some more until pressure is back to normal. Should I do this or does it sound like something else is wrong?
I would be grateful for any advice that fixes this problem!
