Technical description

Water pressure too high

DIY fix possible

Locate a radiator bleed valve and use a key to slowly release a small amount of water into a cloth or bowl.Monitor the pressure gauge on the boiler until it drops back into the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).Ensure the black filling loop handles under the boiler are tightly closed to prevent more water from entering.
