What should the pressure gauge read on my boiler?
What should the pressure gauge read on my boiler?
A boiler’s pressure gauge will usually sit between 1 and 2 bars when it is turned on. The exact recommended pressure level will vary depending on the boiler manufacturer, but generally, anywhere between 1.0 and 2.0 bar is ideal. The boiler pressure level will rise when heating a home or providing hot water.
What should my Greenstar I water pressure be?
Greenstar i Troubleshooting If you have a combi or system boiler, which are both sealed systems, there is likely to be a water pressure gauge on the front. This should be at a setting of around 1 bar whilst the heating is off. When the boiler is operating, the gauge will usually rise to 1.5 bar or more.
What do I need to know about my Greenstar I boiler?
Ensure that there are no leaks to any underfloor pipework. Check that there is no water being discharged from the pressure relief valve (sometimes referred to as an overflow). This pipe usually goes from the boiler through to an outside wall and terminates outside. Check this for signs of dripping.
Where is the overflow valve on a GreenStar I boiler?
Check that there is no water being discharged from the pressure relief valve (sometimes referred to as an overflow). This pipe usually goes from the boiler through to an outside wall and terminates outside.
Which is better the Greenstar I or the 30i?
I like to think of the Greenstar i as the Vauxhall Corsa of boilers. The 25i is the city car version; small, and very economical and does all the basics you need it to. The 30i on the other hand, has a bit more punch to it – it’s good for going down the bypass (although still not exactly a motorway cruiser).

What to do if water pressure drops below 1 bar?
If the gauge has dropped below 1 bar, the water pressure will need to be topped up. To top up your system, please identify if you have a Worcester internal filling key or keyless filling link fitted underneath your boiler and click on the image to watch our helpful video:
