Hi,

please could somebody offer some advice. I’ve just tried to re-pressurise our hot water as a plumber told me to do a couple of years ago.

I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working and realised I was stupidly turning the wrong valve. Instead of the one that I should have turned, I did one below what I think is the pump. I now don’t know if this valve should be open or closed. Please can someone let me know.

when I did turn the right valve, the pressure shot up suddenly when what sounded like a lot of air went through the pipes. The plumber always told me to set it to the red needle just below 2and instead it shot up to 2.5. Will this be ok.

Pictures attached of wrong valve I turned and pressure gauge.

thanks for helping
