Hi there...

i bled my 1st floor radiators earlier as the tops were cool but the
bottoms were hot.

I cant however find the place where I need to top up the pressure in
the system.

There is a potterton combi bolier in the corner of the kitchen, and a
flexcon pressure gauge under the sink whic is nearly on 0bar, but i
cant see a way to add more water into the system to bring pressure up.

Any idea or anyone familiar with these brands?

I suspect I have left important info out that might help to hlep me, so
please let me know!

thanks.

Look for a steel-braided flexible hose with a valve on it. Should be
somewhere directly beneath the boiler.

With one eye on the pressure gauge, open the valve and top-up to 1 bar.

If it's anything like my pressurised system there should be a lever
switch on the pipe work, (in my case near the pressure gauge) which you
turn to allow additional water into the system, when you reach the
operating pressure (in my case 1 bar) turn the lever back.

there is a red plastic cap on top of the gauge, with arrows pointing in an
anti clockwise direction, yet if you turn this, it acts like a cap for a
medicine bottle; it keeps clicking round and round.

I found that turning it slowly, and holding it works, bu the pressure drops
when doing this.... not goes up like i was expecting. i must be doing
something wrong?

the only braided hose i can see nearby is for the sink, i dont think there
is a lever nearby either...
