Hello boiler junkies!
Below is the beast I'm dealing with. The heating suddenly stopped so I went to investigate and discovered that the system was low on pressure. But how to top up? The previous boiler I had to take care of was attached to a small cylinder, you just needed to flick a couple of valves open and job done. But this behemoth no idea.
The two pipes that enter from the top, the one which is closer to the wall is connected to the pump. If you follow it all the way to the bottom it then forks with the right bit entering the wall and the left leading to a hose that's not attached to anything and that has a valve near its end and is extended with a piece of pipe which sits in a sort of a holder attached to the wall.
Is that hose supposed to be used with some device that pumps water in? I can't see anything around that I could attach it into. Any ideas?
Some extra pics below.
