How To Top Up Your Boiler Pressure - Repressurise - Heatable

Hey there, fellow plumbers and DIY enthusiasts. Today, we're diving into a topic that every homeowner should know about—how to top up your boiler pressure. A low boiler pressure can lead to heating issues and even trigger fault codes like the E10 on some models. In this video from Heatable, I’ll show you just how easy it is to repressurise your boiler, whether you have an Alpha or Baxi model. Trust me, it's a straightforward process that can save you a lot of hassle and potentially expensive call-out fees. First things first, figure out where your pressure gauge is. Ideally, your boiler should be operating between 1 and 1.5 bar. If it's dipping below this mark, you'll need to top it up. Now, locate the filling loop, a braided hose usually found underneath the boiler. Next, make sure both valves on the filling loop are closed before you start. Open the valve on the loop carefully, and you should see the pressure gauge start to rise. Once it hits that sweet spot, close the valve and give it a moment to settle. Remember to check for leaks afterward! By knowing how to repressurise your boiler, you’re not just learning a valuable plumbing skill; you’re also empowering homeowners to take charge of their heating systems. Keep this knowledge handy, and your clients will appreciate your expertise even more. So, roll up those sleeves and let’s keep those boilers in tip-top shape!
