    GAH Electrastream boiler, low pressure level, how to top up system?

    Can anyone help me identify which tap/connection it is to top up the system as the level has dropped quite a way below the red marker for the cold fill pressure on the gauge? Boiler was installed approx. 2014. I've looked in the manual & online but can't find anything. Many thanks

    How do I Increase Pressure in my boiler??

    Hi, I am trying to increase the pressure in my gas boiler and was under the assumption it just involved opening these two small black valves. I have tried this but the pressure gauge on the boiler hasn't budged? Anyone know why this is?

    HETAS - Without a pressure pump

    Hi all, Just a quick question. I have a log burner and a gas boiler on a dual fuel system (Central heating and Hot Water) either can do both.

    Hi, guys! Hope you are all well. I have four solenoid valves connected to the main water supply, and they seem to break quite often. I believe it's the pressure that's causing this. I was thinking of adding a pressure valve to control the pressure before it goes through the solenoid valve. Do...

    What is the pressure in this cylinder expansion vessel?

    I was told by the plumber to keep an eye on the pressure, to ensure it stays above 1.0. The red one is… but the black one is not…. What do the two mean?
