What pressure should my Baxi boiler be?
between 1.0 and 2.0 bar
The normal operating pressure for your Baxi boiler is between 1.0 and 2.0 bar. A reading of 1/0 to 1/5 bar is ideal and will ensure that your boiler and central heating are working at maximum efficiency. Should the pressure drop below 1.0 bar, then you’ll need to repressurise your boiler.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
A boiler that keeps losing pressure is therefore always cause for concern. There are two main problems that typically cause a loss of pressure – water escaping somewhere in the system or a failure of the expansion valve and resulting damage to the pressure relief valve.
Why does my Baxi boiler lose pressure?
There could be debris inside the pressure relief valve. This is the safety valve that usually discharges water if the pressure in the system gets too high. If it is dripping with water and the pressure gauge is too low, your Gas Safe registered engineer will need to clean out or replace the safety valve.
What should I do if my Baxi boiler keeps losing pressure?
However, if your boiler keeps losing pressure, call your local Baxi Gas Safe registered installer or Baxi Customer Support who will come and check your boiler system. What should the water pressure be when my boiler is not working? When your boiler is not working, the pressure gauge should be set at about 1.5 bar.
What should my boiler pressure be set at when not working?
When your boiler is not working, the pressure gauge should be set at about 1.5 bar. On the pressure gauge on the front of your boiler, the needle will be in the centre of the green triangle on the dial. If the needle is below 1 bar, in the red area, you may be thinking why is my boiler pressure low?
What causes a pressure relief valve to leak in a boiler?
Some boilers have a tankless water heater or what is also known as a hot water coil. Sometimes, this coil will develop a pin in it, and this causes pressure to seep into the boiler and leads to leaks in the pressure relief valve. Turn off the water to the coil and check if the pressure stops rising.
Can a Worcester Bosch boiler pressure go too high?
Whether you have a Worcester Bosch, Viessmann, Ideal, Baxi, Vokera, or Vaillant, the boiler pressure can go too high and they can all loose pressure with no alarming underlying issue.
