Hi
Today I noticed that my above boiler was a little low on the gauge at 1.0 bar,
to bring it up to above 1.5 bar I allowed mains water into pressurise the system
as I had done before,
Unfortunately I did not pay attention and the pressure gauge went into the red above 2.9 bar
I now have the problem of NO PRESSURE AT ALL when the system is ( OFF or ON )
All that happens now is the mains water goes in and returns out the outlet pipe to outside.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. ?
And what Have I broken. ?
And What would be required to Fix this Fault. ?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
🙂 🙂

The only thing you can try before calling a GS engineer out is,

Look at boiler

Reach up behind the return pipe on the right

And with your finger tips flick the red/black handle backwards/forwards

This may work but it sounds like you may need a repair.

Try being more careful on future top ups or it will happen again plus it's an awkward place if you need a new valve on your model of boiler
 
Hi CH4 plumbing,
Well I tried this and at the moment it seems to be working as suddenly I have pressure and its now not leaking outside
Wow Thanks 🙂
But I have left a message for my plumber to see us so will have him give it a service and change the inhibiter
regards
Pete
