Low pressure warning light!!! Pressure is rising thought!

[aajohnf]

Help!! Last night I bled the air out of one of my radiators. I forgot to recharge the Potterton Puma 80 boiler. This morning I had a low pressure warning light. I topped up but the light would not go out. I bled the other radiators in case and quite a bit of air came out. I topped up once again but still no joy with the light going out. I then emptied the system by turning a big red knob/button below the circulating pump?? now the pressure keeps going up and I have had to turn the power off. HELP! I am a novice in this area. No such thing as central heating where I come from.

Seriously? in Bristol?

Have you shut the filling link?

this sort of problem on a puma is usually a sign of blockage caused by corrosion

Set the pressure to about 2 Bar and wait a day and the pressure switch might reset.

If not it will have to be replaced !

Don't be surprised if your radiators blow up.

Common Puma problem with internal blockage to gauge, exp vessel and blow off.
