But sometimes due to any fault or an issue, your heating appliance i.e. the boiler could stop working. This can be due to the loss of water pressure in the boiler. For regaining its potential heat and warmth again, you need to repressurise you vaillant boiler. You might be thinking how will it be done? How to repressurise a vaillant boiler? We have the solution to your problem.

You just need to follow the steps, they are as follows:

1. Close all vents

Before getting start with re pressurizing your boiler, check all the bleed valves on radiators and towel rails are fully closed.

• Search for the filling loop

In most of the boilers, they have the external filling loop that is used to top up the boiler with water and hence increases the pressure. However, the braided hose with a small valve on it, that’s usually located below the boiler casing should be kept opened.

• Open the filling loop

As soon as you open the filling loop, you will get to see a pressure rise. You can take a look of what is the exact pressure your boiler needs. Mostly the boilers operate with 1.5 bars.

• Close the filling loop

Make sure that the filling loop is completely closed. However if it is not closed it will slowly leak additional water into the boiler. This will increase the pressure and the boiler will lockout.

Note –If there is no filling loop in your boiler, they might be installed on the cylinder.

Warning

 If you have re pressurized your boiler too much you will need to drain the system. But if the pressure is very high by less than 0.5 bar, you need to understand the problem by bleeding radiators. You just need to bleed key, a bucket to catch the water and towel to protect carpets. Now open the bleed valves very slowly. This will allow the water to escape and pressure to be released.
