General Discussion Area / Any plumbers out there?
« on: 11 October 2010, 20:24:38 »
I've just come home to find no heating and no hot water, which isn't ideal after being up since 4.30am, and particularly when you've got two little'uns.
I've got a Baxi Combi 28, and from the manual I can just about work out that I need to repressurise the system as it's down to 0.5 bar. Thing is when I open up the two refill valves there's no sound of it actually refilling and the pressure gauge doesn't budge.
There's basically three pipes disappear into the boiler, and two have an interconnecting pipe which looks to me to be the way to pressure the system.
Anyone got any ideas? The only thing I can think of recently is that on Sunday I bled a radiator where lots of air came out - and I'm guessing that'd where the pressure went. I'd rather not pay a plumber an hours labour plus call out charge for something really obvious.
All advice greatfully received!!
