Manufacturer manual

Lack of water fault (<0.5b)

From this model's manual
Verified against the Glow Worm Cxi Csi System installation & service manual, page 37.
Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the system loses the water pressure required to circulate heat around your home safely. The most common reason is a slow leak from a radiator valve or joint, though the pressure can also drop if you have recently bled your radiators without topping the water back up.

This issue is more frequent during autumn and winter when the heating is first turned on, as the increased pressure of a hot system can expose small leaks or weak seals.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
