What to check first
- Locate the filling loop (a flexible metal hose) connected between two pipes under your boiler.
- Open the valves on both ends of the hose slowly to allow water into the system.
- Watch the pressure gauge on the boiler until it reaches 1.5 bar, then turn the valves off tightly.
