Your video has been a life saver for me today! As a single woman with absolutely no clue on boilers, who was no less clueless after reading the manual.. I could have cried with happiness at Finding your video and following your simple steps to get my house warm again on a night where temperatures are falling to -4c… thank you SO much!
My wife and I watched the video together. By the time I closed TH-cam and turned off the PC my wife had gone to the boiler and fixed the low pressure!!! Thank you so much Colin
5 years on and this video is still saving people! The Manual wasn't helpful showing me 2 blue valves and I couldn't see it as boiler so low in cupboard... My man, you saved ass freezing off even more than normal and got me heat that I wasn't paying for!!! Give that man a medal!!
I'm a student in a student house that was suddenly freezing after I came back from the Christmas holidays. Boiler had low pressure. Such a helpful video! Saved me from a very cold night thank you!
I just followed the instructions and topped up my boiler pressure as a woman this has been an accomplishment today. Thank you so much for the helpful video!
This video saved me from giving some pounds out. Was a bit stressed nearly called an engineer to come check out. Landed on this video and it did the magic. Thanks
You would nearly think this is a big secret from talking to boiler guys so thanks so much for sharing this simple but highly effective tip, you're a lifesaver 👍
Thank you so much. Had new boiler fitted 6 months ago and bathroom radiator had a lot of air in. Your video was fantastic. The plumber who fitted the boiler pressurised the system then disconnected the filler loop and capped it off, presumably so I would have to call him out to sort it. Fortunately with my moderate knowledge of plumbing and thanks your video, it is all up and running again.
Thanks I was flapping a bit this morning looked at the manual didn’t have a clue, watch your video and the house is warm again and I have gotten hot water. A big thank you great video
Going from just below 1 to 1.4 on our Ideal Combi transformed the hot tap pressure in our house. The bath & shower now run so much better than before just by turning a couple of levers! (though the left lever was v.stiff so maybe it was just not properly open). I've gone from zero to hero: Missus having a meltdown has been avoided! Thank you Sir Legend.
Merry Christmas Colin! You saved our Christmas! Your fantastic straightforward clear video helped me to find the right handles to use to top up the pressure on our boiler in a very cold house on Christmas morning. Thanks so much. Hope you have the best Christmas. 😁👍🏼🎄
Thank you! After returning from 2 weeks hol the pressure was zero, no hot water and no heating. Manual made no sense to me. Your video had it sorted in 10 seconds. Thank you.
heating and water hot water went off,i wasnt having much luck with boiler manual,i was about to call out engineer then i remembered youtube!!!!! id fixed it in minutes,thank you
Such a life saver! Looked at other videos but they don't have the exact boiler so wasn't too sure what to do. Glad I found this video, thank you so much!
Lovely stuff. One of the blue handles was really stiff so I had to wrap a tea towel around my hand as I forced it open. Not sure why. All working grand though. Cheers.
Hi, your video is very helpful. But my boiler has 1 blue lever and besides 1 black lever. I'm now little bit confused which one is the right to do pressure up? Could you pls help me to sort it out?
Woke up this frosty icy morning to a dead boiler. After panicked messages to my landlady I realized that the boiler needed repressurising! This video helped me to repressurise the system and get the heating and hot water back on in time to get ready for work!
Great video - thank u as it saved me call out charges and also having to ring up husband who is out of country. However my boiler although exactly same as yours, had a black lever also so its one blue & one black at the front. There were 2 blue (one at the back) but that didn’t work so then i closed the back blue and tried the front blue & front black and viola! 😅
One and a half hours reading the manual and getting nowhere then 90 seconds of your advise and up and running !! Thank you very much indeed .
Same here🎉
Same here! Thank god for TH-cam 😂
Same here! Time-saver...Thanks
I lost a liter of water of my body by looking at the error message. I got it back. Super helpful
