Hey guuys newbie here so go easy - basically my boiler has lost pressure i have a flexi pipe with a black tap . a yellow tap and a blue tap -help !!!
 
Turn the black tap on the flexi slowly and watch the pressure guage rise. Assuming the system is cold, raise to 1 bar and then shut the black tap back off again
 
That flexi pipe sounds like your filling loop there should be a valve either side of it - you need to open both valves to put pressure in the boiler. Open one fully and the the other one slightly and you will hear the boiler start to fill up. When the pressure get between 1 to 1.5 bar close boths valves and away you go. You should check for leaks though as this can cause a pressure drop. Also once refilled you may want to vent your system. But the boiler will need topping up again after vented if you vent off lots of air.
 
hey guys thanks for the reply tried that though th etap does nothing ?? only 1 tap on the flexi pipe ?
