What the manual says

Manufacturer manual

Water pressure error - You must top up the water pressure for your system

From this model's manual
Verified against the Keston C36 installation & service manual, page 32.
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 lacks enough water to circulate safely, triggering a safety shutdown. The most common reasons are a slow leak in the pipework or radiators, or having recently bled your radiators without topping the pressure back up.

This is common in autumn when homeowners turn their heating back on for the first time and discover the pressure has naturally dropped over the summer.

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.
