So, a customer has a pressurised system on the heating side.

He said he refilled after he changed a rad valve & the pressure will only go to 1 bar & not beyond.

Is this because of the pressure vessel or not enough mains pressure?

He said it used to read 1.5 bar.

I’ve not been to look.

Cheers all

Is it a flat Tell him to try filing late night or very early morning. Eg 5am Sunday morning - pressure is generally better then.

He’s quite switched on He can’t hear it filling & no movement on the pressure guage.
