How To Top The Boiler Pressure Up On A Viessmann Vitodens 100 Combi Boiler

If you’re dealing with a Viessmann Vitodens 100 Combi Boiler, chances are you’re wondering how to top up the boiler pressure. Whether you're a professional plumber, a dedicated DIYer, or a homeowner wanting to understand your heating system better, you've come to the right place. First off, don’t panic if you notice low boiler pressure. It’s a common issue that can occur for various reasons, like minor leaks or normal system operation. What’s important is knowing how to rectify it. Topping up the pressure on your Vitodens 100 is quite straightforward. You’ll find a filling loop, which is typically a flexible silver pipe under the boiler. Make sure both ends of the loop are properly connected. Now, to increase the pressure, you'll want to turn the handle on the filling loop to let water into the system. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge as you do this; you’re aiming for a reading between 1 and 1.5 bar, which is usually the sweet spot for most home heating systems. Once you've got the right pressure, don’t forget to close the filling loop valve tightly. Leaving it open could lead to over-pressurizing your system or worse, causing leaks. Lastly, it’s a good idea to check for any leaks or issues under the boiler after topping up the pressure. Regular maintenance will keep your heating system running efficiently and help catch any problems early on. For a visual guide on this process, check out the video embedded above.
