Repressurising Ideal Independent C24 boiler

[Raizelb]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a F1 with my boiler due to low pressure, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to repressurising it. I have uploaded a picture of boiler below, thank you.

Black handle on the end of the stainless steel flexible hose, turn 90* the screw on the other end is already open

Don’t touch the screw as it’s s drain point and has feck all to do with filling it.
Just turn black handle.

My mistake I assumed the screw was to isolate it so the loop could be removed

Thank you both very much!

Hi, I'm experiencing a weird problem after I repressurised the boiler, This open ended pipe is leaking water, just droplets but it only started after I repressurised the boiler. Any ideas why this might be happening?

either you have not closed the filling loop valve properly or you have an expansion problem

This appears to be the case, now the pressure is way too high, is there a way to bring it down to optimal level or should I just let it go down naturally?

Your boiler needs a proper service, and probably a new pressure relief valve

Can I also ask why my boiler's pressure seems to be rising even though I've tried to secure the handle?

Because the expansion vessel will be flat. Get someone in who knows what they are doing
