What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop, which is usually a flexible silver braided hose with one or two valves located underneath the boiler.
  2. Gradually open the valve(s) to allow mains water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly and restart the boiler to clear the fault.
