Technical description: System pressure too low

What causes the Baxi 119 fault?

This fault occurs when the water pressure inside your heating system falls below the minimum level required for the boiler to operate safely. The most common reason is a small leak somewhere in your radiators or pipework, but it can also happen if you have recently bled your radiators without topping the water back up.

This issue often appears when you turn your heating back on for the first time in autumn, as the system remains idle over summer and small leaks become apparent.

Typical repair cost £0-120 (including labour)

DIY fix possible

Locate the filling loop (usually a silver flexible hose) underneath your boiler.Slowly open the one or two taps/levers on the hose until you hear water flowing.Watch the pressure gauge and close the taps once the needle reaches between 1 and 1.5 bar.
