      ​@@SurvTeeunfortunately sounds like the none return valve in the filling loop has malfunctioned and you will need to replace the filling loop I'm afraid!

    Bled radiators as coming to that time to use heating and this year obviously need max efficiency because of sky high costs!! Found the hot water was out this morning. Knew it could be the pressure but moved to a new house so don’t know this boiler, but waited to the end of this video and luckily you covered all types of taps including the rings. Thanks for the very informative video!! Really helpful.

    Nice one! Really helpful. Have repressurised many a boiler at the start (and sometimes during) each winter, but couldn't work out which tap was which on this one. Gave up reading the manual after 20mins, and sorted it within seconds of watching this video. Thanks for uploading 👏

    Thanks for that I bled our radiators a few days ago and today we have no hot water so knowing its difficult to get repairs done I looked how to on youtube and got your video we have the two black round turners that you showed at the end of the video. There were 2 black finials at the back but we decided to try the round ones at the front (on the right hand side) worked a treat. So when I bleed my radiators in the future I will check the boiler too. Always make sure you have a good torch or like me I used the torch on my mobile or I would be getting an extension lead out and using my bed side lamp.

    Thanks for this! I have the dual knobs, as per 2:35 - is there any reason why, when not filling the system, you need to keep BOTH knobs closed? It doesn't look like there would be anywhere for the water to go if I kept one open and one closed

    @Do_not_assume 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Why does the boiler need to be pressurised in order for the hot taps to work?
    surely the central heating system is separate to the hot taps system, isn't it? And we're pressurising the heating system and not the hot water. I'm baffled. please explain.
