How do I lower the water pressure in my boiler?
How to reduce your boiler pressure
- Switch off your boiler and wait for the heating system to cool.
- Identify and check the boiler pressure gauge.
- If it’s above 2 bars, you’ll need to reduce the pressure.
- Ensure the filling loop or relief valve is tightly closed.
What should the pressure be on a Vokera boiler?
The pressure gauge shows the current pressure of the system, the gauge should be set between 1 and 1.5 bar. When the appliance is operating the gauge may rise or fall slightly, this is quite normal. The minimum permissible level for the safe and efficient operation of the appliance is 0.5 bar.
Does bleeding radiators affect boiler pressure?
Bleeding radiators If you bled your radiators recently, you may have lost some pressure. That’s because, when you bleed a radiator, air is released, which lowers the pressure in your boiler system.
Is there a way to fix a vokera boiler?
It is possible to top up the pressure on your Vokera pressure using the filling loop. However, while this might get your boiler working temporarily, it will not solve the underlying problem. To do this you will have to identify and fix the leak.
Why does my vokera Linea have low pressure?
We see these errors occurring most frequently in the Vokera Linea and Vokera Compact models. Low pressure is most commonly caused by a leak either in your boiler itself or elsewhere in your heating system. It is possible to top up the pressure on your Vokera pressure using the filling loop.
What are the most common faults in vokera boilers?
The last of our top 5 most common faults with Vokera boilers is a condensation blockage. This can actually occur in most boilers and in Vokera boilers it will show up as fault code 92, 93, or 95 depending on which model you have,
What to do if boiler pressure is too low?
To check the pressure level simply take a look at the built in pressure gauge, if it’s below 1 then the boiler pressure is too low. Increasing boiler pressure is something you can do yourself by following the steps in our guide to low boiler pressure but if you don’t feel safe doing so then always contact a Gas Safe registered engineer.
