Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. We had a new boiler fitted a couple of
months ago (an ariston combi boiler). ON the front of the boiler there is a
pressure gauge and we have noticed that the pressure is down lower than the
manual says it should be. The manual says between 1 and 1.5 bars and ours is
showing about 0.5. This stays the same when hot water is used but rises when
the central heating is turned on to about 1.5. However, despite this it's
working perfectly ok and gives us hot water and heats the radiators.
The plumber who fitted it seemed to do a good job when he did the boiler so
we had him fit a new bathroom after and we werent happy with his work. He
promised to come back and sort out the bits we werent happy with (we hadnt
paid him the full amount) but he has never turned up to do this. As we
hadn't paid him everything we were quite happy to leave it like this as we
can finish off the other bits ourselves, but because of this its put us in
an awkward position with the boiler.\We don't want to have to ring him
unless we really have to so if anyone here can give us any pointers we'd be
really grateful!
Is this lack of pressure anything to worry about and is there anything
simple we can do to rectify it? We've bled all the radiators and the actual
water pressure through the taps is very high if thats any help.
