Your boiler has lost water pressure and needs to be topped up to function correctly again.
What to check first
- Locate the external filling loop, which is a silver braided hose connecting two pipes near your boiler.
- Open the valves at both ends of the hose to let water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
- Close both valves tightly and remove the hose if it is not a permanent fixture.
