Technical description: Low water level

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the internal sensors detect that the system's water pressure has dropped below the minimum level required for safe operation. The most common reason is a slow leak somewhere in your radiators or pipework, though it can also happen if you have recently bled your radiators without topping the pressure back up.

This issue often surfaces in autumn when homeowners turn their heating back on for the first time, as the change in temperature can highlight minor leaks or pressure loss during the summer.

Typical repair cost £0-120 (including labour)

DIY fix possible

Check the pressure gauge on the boiler or pipeworkLocate the external filling loop (braided silver hose)Slowly open the valves to top up the water until the pressure is between 1.0 and 1.5 barEnsure valves are closed tightly and reset the boiler
