What to check first
- Locate the external filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver braided hose connecting two pipes near the boiler.
- Open the valves at both ends of the filling loop to allow water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
- Close both valves firmly and ensure the filling loop is disconnected if required by your specific installation.
