Hi all,

I bled a radiator last night and this morning my combi boiler has no pressure. I cant see any obvious taps to add more pressure underneath. Can anyone advise me apparently its something simple but not sure with this new boiler. I can call a plumber but thought i'd ask first. Its a capriz2 28c

    Now is a great time to read the manual. 

    I apologise. I just read the manual, and it just says to turn the tap on.

    Maybe if you post a picture of the pipes around the boiler?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Do you know the model of your boiler?
    It's normally just a couple of isolators on the water inlet pipe underneath. Should be fairly obvious.

    Which other pipes? I've added one with the pipes directly under the boiler only others are under the sink

    Yeah I've checked the manual and it just mentions about taps but doesnt specify which are which.
  • From the photo, the filling point is somewhere else  :/  Have a look in the cupboards under the boiler.

     Look for something like thishttps://www.bes.co.uk/straight-filling-loop-with-valve-15mm-15583/ Although the end valve parts will be different but its a start  <3

    Apparently you need to ask "the competent person"
    1. Open all radiator valves (thermostaticradiator valves) of the heating installa-tion.2. Slowly open the filling !!!!!!, as shown to you by the competent person.3. Fill with water until the required filling pressure is reached.4. Check the filling pressure in the display.5. Close the filling !!!!!! after filling

    near the fill loop there will also be a pressure gauge.  Possibly near a a red tank.

    If you follow the pipes below the boiler where do they go?

    I had a look at the installation manual and that's pretty useless to, just says to use your "preferred filling method as described earlier" but doesn't actually describe it. There must be a filling loop, as shown earlier, if not then as mentioned you'll probably have to get someone in.
