Anyone know about worcester boilers?

Question

The pressures dropped on my boiler, and when I've tried to renew the pressure, its gone up to 1.5 nearly 2. past the red needle anyway. Is the red needle indicative of the lowest pressure or the highest, and if its the highest, how do I reduce pressure? Its working by the way, I imagine if things weren't ok it would cut out. Any Help?

Answer 1

bleed a radiator and let some water run out if you cant find the relief valve or if you have a drainoff somewhere handy attach a hosepipe and drain some water to lower the pressure.hope this helps a little

Answer 2

I have a Worcester Bosch boiler and the red needle is on 1, the black needle on 1.3 and so everything's ok. The black needle SHOULD be past the red one. If the black needle drops below the red you should have a small tap on your water pipe near your boiler. All you have to do is open this for a few seconds to let more water into your boiler. Your boiler seems to be ok though.

Answer 3

is the boiler,combi,or condensing ? well either way,there a good boiler,just blled a rad,and keep a eye on this,how old is the boiler? can be a little lime scale etc,have you renewed any pipe work recently,i had this problem when i changed all my lead pipe to plasteic,went right through the system,had to clean all out,even toilet system,and shower,hope this helps

Answer 4

Your boiler pressure should be about 1/1.5 bar. if it drops below this, then you have a leak, or a faulty valve somewhere.

Answer 5

It may be a build up of limescale in the pipe work ,have you got a relief valve , check that it works or you may have more problems than you can wish for , this is not a scare monger, get a central heating expert to have a look at.

Answer 6

when the pressure drops there is a leak on the system
