Combi Boiler Too Much Pressure - How to reduce the water pressure - Central Heating

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

CENTRAL HEATING. How to reduce the pressure in your Combi Boiler. How to take some pressure out of your combi boiler. Central Heating. High Pressure. Expansion vessel. combi boiler. So if you have a look at your pressure gauge and there's too much pressure in your boiler, we're going to take a look at that, show you how to reduce the pressure in the boiler, and also just go through some of the causes of why you may have too much pressure.
So first of all, we'll look at the filling loop underneath the boiler and we'll see if that's been left open. So let's have a look at that now. When we look at this, we can see this side is open, so that means this here, that should be closed like that, if you can see. And then that one that there is closed as well. If they were both open then they'd be like that and then your pressure gauge would continually just go up all the time.
So after you have filled the boiler, normally we would only fill it to about one when the boiler is turned off and the boiler is cold. So if you've done it to one, always make sure you turn these back off.
I'm now going to go through a few different ways of how you can reduce the pressure, and then I'm going to go through, if it happens again, then what ever problems you may have.
So on this wall we've got filter just underneath the boiler and by just undoing the filter under here, this will take the water out of the system, or take some of the water out of the system, and that will lower the pressure, so I'll show you that now.
So you can see this pressure gauge is up there at two and a half, and then if we just open this here, and we start to let some water come out, we can see the pressure gauge, we can see the pressure gauge goes back down. If you've taken a lot of water out like that, and that pressure gauge is still stuck up there, then it may be you've got a faulty pressure gauge. So what I'll do now is I'll just tuck this back up a little bit and then what we'll do, I'll show you some other ways if you haven't got a filter that you can do. So again, I'm just going to overpressurize it, and then now what we'll do is we'll go to a radiator.
Doing it from a radiator can take quite a lot longer, but what you do is just bleed it, get a jug or something to put under there and then just drain into your jug. You might need a cloth underneath as well because it'll probably drip. And just be careful not to undo it too much with this key. If you undo the out too much, sometimes that can actually shoot out and then you'll be in the right mess then. Doing it this way might take quite a while because you're only taking a right little bit of water out at a time. So what you'll have to do is do this and then close it, and then go back to your boiler and check. You can always put more pressure back in if you need to, so we're going to a look at the boiler again now. When we look at the boiler, the pressure's gone down a little bit, but as you can see if you're going to do it from a radiator, that's going to take quite a while.
You could also undo one of the nuts underneath, if you've got somewhere where you could undo one of the nuts and you could let some of the water come out a bit. But obviously you have to be really careful with that. Also, it may be that you've got a drain off valve somewhere on your system and if you have, you could just put a jug underneath and then just undo your drain off part of it. Obviously that would be on your system like that. So that's another way that you can take the pressure out of the system.
If you've managed to get your pressure back down to one, then what you need to do now is when the system's cold, you want the pressure to be at one bar. Just round about one bar. And then when you heat the system up, so you've checked all valves and everything's turned off underneath, except one bar, system's cold, and then you put your heating on and this pressure gauge, it'll start to go up, but you only want it to go up a little bit. If it starts going back up to over two or a three bar again, then that would indicate you've got a problem with the expansion vessel inside the boiler. And it may be that it needs servicing, it just needs the expansion vessel pumping up. It may be that you need a new expansion vessel, but more than likely it'll just need pumping up.
It could also be that the expansion vessel is undersized for the size of system that you've got. So if you've got a really large house, then expansion vessels in boilers are only normally seven, eight, nine litres. So they're not really designed for big massive houses. So it could be that you need an additional expansion vessel.

    @@AllenHart999 Hi, I have a Procombi boiler 85HE. The pressure keeps going up to 3 bar or more when the heating is on. Since watching your video i've been bleeding the radiators to lower the pressure but it keeps rising again once it has been lowered. Then i noticed the boiler shuts off when the pressure gets too high and when that happens the pressure drops to 0 so i then have to top the pressure up to get it going again. Then it will work for a while until it shuts itself off again. So from watching your video i'm thinking i have a problem with the expansion vessel. I've got an engineer coming Thursday to give it a service. When i top up the pressure with the filling loop though quite a bit of water comes out of the top tap which i'm thinking shouldn't happen? It doesn't seem to leak at all when it's closed but could that be causing the pressure to rise also? Thanks.

    Thanks so much Allen for your thoughtful and concise videos. We had been living with a a leaky pressure relief valve (PRV) for a couple years due to spiking pressure at startup. My system has an auto water feed valve to top off the water pressure "automatically", but pressure still fell below 1 bar on cold nights due to system contraction when off. Following your other video, I tested the pressure over time in the isolated boiler and had no loss, so I assumed it was probably the expansion tank. I drained the isolated boiler and proceeded to check and recharge the expansion tank. When I filled the expansion tank, a lot of sediment came out of the drain valve and the rest of the boiler water, which led me to believe that I also might have had a blockage in the expansion tank lead pipe. I thought I would share this to lend a hand.

    It's the air in my radiators that need bleeding every so often that puts the pressure back down. Thanks for the advice to not turn the radiator key too much, you have probably saved me an absolute disaster there mate. I had no idea that the plug could shoot out of the radiator, (Sounds like a nightmare that I wouldn't be able to deal with on the spot) It was also good to know that the pressure gauge should be sitting on 1 when the boiler is off and the water cold. Thanks man :)

    Fab, exactly what I needed to know to release some of the pressure in the boiler: when the heating was on, the gauge was ticking up over 3 bar. Refilled it too much when the pressure went below 0.5 bar. Took 1 jug of water drained from a radiator to do. Simple and well explained :) Pressure released and boiler back to 1bar!!

    Hi Alan, my pressure was on 0 so I followed your advice but it’s now over 2. The heating is working and the taps are fine when I’m wanting cold water, but when I turn them for hot water it turns into a tiny trickle and I’ve not got water at all. Any advice would be great! We have a gas shower, so totally stuck. Thank you!

    If I could I would jump through my iPad and kiss you. You would not be happy because I am in my late 80’s. Today I had my boiler serviced. As I put everything back in my boiler room I noticed the water gauge was far higher than it had ever been. I had already been warned that 2 was too high and this was over 2 1/2 knew I was in trouble. Found you. Do I have a Filter, no. Nuts to be undone, no. Radiator bleed and yes there I am my comfort zone. Took 20 minutes but all perfect. Thank you so much. You saved me months of stress waiting for boiler to possible blow.

    Hi Allen, i have a slightly different problem with my Vaillant eco tec plus 28. Every now and again it loses its pressure, sometimes its okay for a while and other times it might happen twice in the same week. I have checked all rads and valves for leaks (thaey are fine) ive check nearly all the pipe runs and they seem fine and the blow off pipe outside is always dry. Any ideas what might be happening? Thanks, Joe

    Hi Allen, thank you for the informative videos as always. I’m faced with a different kind of boiler pressure issues on a Worcester 30cdi. The pressure slowly keeps going up to 3 bar and above. It takes around 8 to 12 hours for the pressure to exceed 3 bar from 1 bar. Everything been checked expansion vessels is fully charged and in good working condition. Filling key has been removed from the loop to make sure it’s not passing through the filling loop, but the pressure still keeps going up slowly. Any idea what it could be ?? A little help to guide me in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Thanks..

    We had a new boiler fitted Dec 2019 and this year it keeps gaining pressure. I thought that because the bathroom radiator was half hot half cold the air in it probably wasn’t helping so I bled the towel radiator (there was a lot of air in it) and the boiler dumped all the water out so I repressurised it to 1 bar and a week later it’s back up to between 2-3 bar when it’s on. Looks like I’ll be calling an engineer soon. Yay! Thanks for the informative video though! :)
