How to re-pressurise Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i ErP

[AdrianM74]

Hi all, hoping someone can help me here.

Not long moved into a new house which has the above boiler installed, no problems with the boiler working but the pressure has dropped and can't figure out how to top it up. According to the manuals there are three ways, a built in loop with a lever you just pull (not there on mine), a key type system (an option that wasn't installed on my boiler) or a flexible hose attachment which I can't see either.

I have spoken to Worcester Bosch themselves who couldn't help, can get hold of the previous owner currently and local company wants £100 just to come out so thought this it may be a good option to ask here.

Have attached (I think) some images

Thanks

You need to take off the two brass caps at the bottom of the picture and connect a flexi braided hose. It should be lying about somewhere.

Denso, is it really that simple? No flexible hose left by the previous owner lol. What you are saying makes sense though, will pop and get a flexible hose now and give it a go.

Go to screwfix (or similar) and get a filling loop. Just any old flexi won't attach/detatch easily.
