Morning, my Ideal icos HE15 is very low on pressure. I am aware there should be a filling loop either on the boiler or the hot water tank but I can't find it. There is a silver flexible hose in the airing cupboard but it does not have a valve attached. Please can you help me locate the loop as it's a bit like Where's Wally at the moment.
Hunt the filling loop...

The white expansion vessel in that pic is for your HW Cyl, do you have a red vessel anywhere ?

Whats below boiler, kitchen cupboard?
your boiler can be fitted as an open vent in which case you would have an F&E tank in the loft or somewhere above the height of the highest radiators, or it can be fitted as a sealed system, which I think you have as the installer has went to the trouble of installing a pressure guage, so you must have a system expansion vessel somewhere
Yes, certainly looks like a filling loop. Open the tap on the right and keep an eye on the pressure gauge.
BTW, put the Carbon Monoxide detector on the top of the boiler, not underneath.

yes that is it, open both valves until the gauge under the boiler is between 1 and 1.5 Bar then close both valves again
