Note –If there is no filling loop in your boiler, they might be installed on the cylinder. If you have re pressurized your boiler too much you will need to drain the system.
The boiler has entered its pre-heat mode and will rise to 74 degrees before returning to displaying the pressure. With the pressure displayed carry on topping up the boiler. Loading… When autoplay is enabled, a suggested video will automatically play next.
