Something for viewers to note - not all Baxi Boilers have the two blue valves underneath, some of them are designed with a single lever which is green. You pull this green lever to reintroduce the water pressure and when the indicator reaches the green, you release it (i.e. push it back in place.) This happens within a couple of seconds, at least with ny Granddad's boiler it did. Good luck!
Hi Benscooter1, thanks for the feedback.

Note some Baxi/Main boilers will have a flexible filling loop - a foibles metal hose - rather than the rigid arrangement with blue valves as shown here. The hose will be a slightly different position but there should also be two levers/taps on the pipework either side and these can be turned in the same way as those in this video to raise the pressure.

Hi Anass, If the blue handles can be removed (and I don`t know if they can), then remove and use a small adjustable spanner on the flats underneath. There are some valves which have a Stop, so they only rotate so far, have you tried turning the handle both ways? Try removing the plastic head and turning with an adjustable spanner. Do let me know how you get on. Otherwise, might be some underlying systemic issue with your Boiler. Might be a leak somewhere in the system or a damaged pressure relief valve.

Hello J K. The main code fault is low boiler water pressure. If it presents often you might have a radiator leak in so get someone in to check your radiator or boiler system out. Check to see if your radiator is bleeding from the compression nut or union valve where you have your lock shield valve. Your nut should be tightened back if loose., a power flush and radiator bleed might suffice if you have a bleed and a pressurised system and not a conventional system.Also try topping up when your boiler isn’t hot due to expansion of hot water when it is hot as it might descend quickly as your boiler cools down.

@@UtechUreview Thanks so much for the helpful reply - I’ve subscribed and shared! Could this code signify an issue with the boiler itself? It’s new and appears to have lost pressure slightly since the flow and return valves were closed 24 hours ago.
Big thanks to you mate blue error light has now gone and my heating is back up, only bought this new build house a year ago I thought there was no way it’s broken already! One question though I feel like my valves were already turned on? Would that matter if one is on and one is off? The boiler is on now but I don’t know if the valves are actually off or not?
I left the left blue tap in the clockwise position for a few minutes after turning the one to the left anti clockwise, but it is now in the anti clockwise position. Will it be okay?
Hi mohammedbutt7662, To resolve low boiler pressure, you can try topping up the boiler. The process might vary depending on the specific boiler model, but generally, you can follow these steps: 1. Locate the filling loop: It's usually a flexible hose with two valves, one on each end. 2. Close the valves: Make sure both valves on the filling loop are closed. 3. Open the valves: Open the two black valves on the filling loop. These are typically the levers you mentioned w.r.t to video link ruclips.net/video/EK0FkOKlhWE/видео.htmlsi=eybLnghYW6uy5-NJ 4. Monitor the pressure gauge: Keep an eye on the pressure gauge and wait for it to reach the desired pressure. It's usually between 1 and 1.5 bar. 5. Close the valves: Once the desired pressure is reached, close the two black valves. 6. Check for leaks: Make sure there are no leaks around the filling loop or any other parts of the boiler. 7. Reset the boiler: If necessary, reset the boiler to ensure it's functioning properly. Remember, it's always best to consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek professional help if you're unsure about any steps or if the issue persists. Stay safe! Let me know how you get on.

@@mohammedbutt7662 If you're having trouble finding the flexible loop, it's possible that your boiler might have a different setup. The filling loop can vary depending on the boiler model. The topping off valves are typically located at the front of the loop. They are usually accessible and easy to identify. If you're having trouble finding them, it's best to refer to the boiler's manual or contact a professional for guidance. They'll be able to assist you in locating the valves and topping off the boiler correctly. Typically, the filling loop is a flexible hose with two valves at each end. It's usually connected to the boiler's pipework. The valves are often colored, with one being yellow and the other two being black. If you can't find the flexible loop or it looks different, it's best to consult the boiler's manual or contact a professional to get specific instructions for your boiler model. They'll be able to guide you through the process of topping up the boiler correctly and safely. Stay warm!
Was watching how to put th pressure up on my boiler but the other blue knob won’t bulge in, won’t turn , the other one was on . Is there any easier way to turn it, tried putting pressure and was tempted to use hammer now . Thanks
Hi Juanita, It means you have allowed too much pressure in above the specified limit. You can lower the pressure by bleeding your radiator using a radiator key so your Boiler doesn’t implode.
Is this the exact model? And are you sure you have the central heating cold water isolation and repressurisation valves turned? Are your radiators in need of bleeding and have you just carried out a flush?
Might be some underlying systemic issue with your Boiler. Might be a leak somewhere in the system or a damaged pressure relief valve. You might need to Call out an Engineer to investigate further. Hope you sort it out in the end.
@@jawakumar you welcome Jawa. As long as you have it sorted. That’s fine. If it doesn’t budge in the future then a call out might be necessary to see if you have any leaks in your system. That being said, Don’t forget to subscribe and share. Helps channel grow. Happy holidays
Hi Lourenz, Might be some underlying systemic issue with your Boiler or system. Might be a leak somewhere in the system I.e radiator leak or a damaged pressure relief valve. You might try to sort out the radiator leak yourself or Call out an Engineer to investigate further. Hope this helps and you sort it out in the end.
I have the exact same boiler with exact same low pressure e118 error message. I have followed your instructions and nothing has happened. No noise, no change in water pressure. What now?
Hi Casey, please can you confirm you opened both valves and there was no movement of the gauge or needle? What is your pressure reading at the moment ? Is it below 1 or in the red region?
@@caseyspriggs6934makes sense that you had a leak if you weren’t getting any topping up pressure as could have been frozen pipes, leaks, blocks e.t.c as earlier highlighted in the video, even if you had just had a flush you still would have had topping pressure when topping up. Glad you got there in the end and enjoy the rest of your week
Hi Melissa, what model of boiler do you have I presume this is a different model of boiler ? and you have two black valves on the filling loop in front and 2 black valves at the back? The 2 two black valves on the front of your boiler can be used to re pressurise so run a test to see if your needle moves and top ups and if it does it means these are top up valves.. if it doesn’t close out immediately as you may need to call out but hopefully these valves should be sufficient enough.
You welcome. Samsung Galaxy. Appreciate the feedback and glad your sorted. Don’t forget to subscribe and share. Helps channel grow. Enjoy the rest of your week
Hi Moti Angel, How to fix: You can do this by ‘bleeding’ your radiators. You’ll need to drain some water from the system. To bleed your radiator, you’ll need a radiator key or a tool that is able to comfortably and safely turn the valve on the top corner of your radiator. First locate the radiator valve and then very slowly twist the valve anti-clockwise. You should first hear air escaping before water starts to leak from the valve. Let out a small amount of water from each radiator - checking the pressure after each one. Continue to do so until your pressure gauge is back in the glorious green zone. Other probable causes for this malfunction are Malfunctioning boiler parts Defective components could include the boilers pressure release valve, diverter valve, or filling loop How to check (pressure release valve): The PRV is a simple device to release water when the boiler is over pressurised. It’s a copper pipe usually seen protruding on your outside wall behind the boiler. If this particular pipe is constantly dripping water - then your PRV should be indicative of some other systemic underlying issue, you should call an engineer to check or troubleshoot boiler. If you're getting no hot water from your boiler, this failing part could be the reason why. I hope this helps. Appreciate the feedback. Don’t forget to subscribe and share. Have a good weekend
Hi Sophia, To lower the water pressure on your boiler to the required tolerance levels. you can try one of the following methods: 1. Bleed the radiators: This involves opening the valves on your radiators to release any trapped air, which can help to reduce the pressure in the system. 2. Adjust the pressure relief valve: This valve is typically located on the boiler and can be adjusted to reduce the pressure in the system. 3. Drain some water from the system: You can use a hose to drain some water from the system, which will help to reduce the pressure. However, be sure to consult your boiler manual or gas engineer before attempting this method, as draining too much water can damage the system. Don’t forget to subscribe and share. Cheers.
Hi Jahda, could be the maximum temperature threshold on your Boiler has been surpassed and as a result overheating and could be resolved by bleeding air from your radiators and reseting the Boiler. Let me know how you get on

3. Open the valves: Open the two black valves on the filling loop. These are typically the levers you mentioned w.r.t to video link ruclips.net/video/EK0FkOKlhWE/видео.htmlsi=eybLnghYW6uy5-NJ
4. Monitor the pressure gauge: Keep an eye on the pressure gauge and wait for it to reach the desired pressure. It's usually between 1 and 1.5 bar.
5. Close the valves: Once the desired pressure is reached, close the two black valves.
6. Check for leaks: Make sure there are no leaks around the filling loop or any other parts of the boiler.
7. Reset the boiler: If necessary, reset the boiler to ensure it's functioning properly.
Remember, it's always best to consult the manufacturer's instructions or seek professional help if you're unsure about any steps or if the issue persists. Stay safe!

@@UtechUreview thank you so much for such a detailed response. My issue is I cannot see a flexible loop like the one you described
@@mohammedbutt7662 If you're having trouble finding the flexible loop, it's possible that your boiler might have a different setup. The filling loop can vary depending on the boiler model.
The topping off valves are typically located at the front of the loop. They are usually accessible and easy to identify. If you're having trouble finding them, it's best to refer to the boiler's manual or contact a professional for guidance. They'll be able to assist you in locating the valves and topping off the boiler correctly.
Typically, the filling loop is a flexible hose with two valves at each end. It's usually connected to the boiler's pipework. The valves are often colored, with one being yellow and the other two being black.
If you can't find the flexible loop or it looks different, it's best to consult the boiler's manual or contact a professional to get specific instructions for your boiler model. They'll be able to guide you through the process of topping up the boiler correctly and safely. Stay warm!

Was watching how to put th pressure up on my boiler but the other blue knob won’t bulge in, won’t turn , the other one was on . Is there any easier way to turn it, tried putting pressure and was tempted to use hammer now . Thanks
The left blue knob won’t turn 😢
What can happens if the pressure get to 4 the red one
Hi Juanita, It means you have allowed too much pressure in above the specified limit. You can lower the pressure by bleeding your radiator using a radiator key so your Boiler doesn’t implode.
Mine are already open. Nothing happens when I turn them either way. Any ideas?
Is this the exact model? And are you sure you have the central heating cold water isolation and repressurisation valves turned? Are your radiators in need of bleeding and have you just carried out a flush?
This is the exact model we have and tried turning both the blue valves towards the boiler, but still the pressure doesn't rise up. Any other help?
Might be some underlying systemic issue with your Boiler. Might be a leak somewhere in the system or a damaged pressure relief valve. You might need to Call out an Engineer to investigate further. Hope you sort it out in the end.
@@UtechUreview Sure. Thanks for the reply. I opened the blue valve for more than 20mins and it came to normal after.
@@jawakumar you welcome Jawa. As long as you have it sorted. That’s fine. If it doesn’t budge in the future then a call out might be necessary to see if you have any leaks in your system. That being said, Don’t forget to subscribe and share. Helps channel grow. Happy holidays
Hi, i’ve flicked my green switch on my model and it’s making no difference. Generally it works but today it’s not working - any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi Lourenz, Might be some underlying systemic issue with your Boiler or system. Might be a leak somewhere in the system I.e radiator leak or a damaged pressure relief valve. You might try to sort out the radiator leak yourself or Call out an Engineer to investigate further. Hope this helps and you sort it out in the end.
The needle on mine isn’t moving past the 1 really. Is there something else wrong?
I have the exact same boiler with exact same low pressure e118 error message. I have followed your instructions and nothing has happened. No noise, no change in water pressure. What now?
Hi Casey, please can you confirm you opened both valves and there was no movement of the gauge or needle? What is your pressure reading at the moment ? Is it below 1 or in the red region?
Got it sorted now, it was a leak coming from one of the radiators
@@caseyspriggs6934makes sense that you had a leak if you weren’t getting any topping up pressure as could have been frozen pipes, leaks, blocks e.t.c as earlier highlighted in the video, even if you had just had a flush you still would have had topping pressure when topping up. Glad you got there in the end and enjoy the rest of your week
Worked thanks

What if you don’t have any blue valves? Only black and yellow! 😢
Hi Melissa, what model of boiler do you have I presume this is a different model of boiler ? and you have two black valves on the filling loop in front and 2 black valves at the back? The 2 two black valves on the front of your boiler can be used to re pressurise so run a test to see if your needle moves and top ups and if it does it means these are top up valves.. if it doesn’t close out immediately as you may need to call out but hopefully these valves should be sufficient enough.
Thanks so much

How can one drain water when filled to much . I got the same E1.18. Error
Hi Moti Angel,
How to fix:
You can do this by ‘bleeding’ your radiators.
You’ll need to drain some water from the system.
To bleed your radiator, you’ll need a radiator key or a tool that is able to comfortably and safely turn the valve on the top corner of your radiator.
First locate the radiator valve and then very slowly twist the valve anti-clockwise. You should first hear air escaping before water starts to leak from the valve. Let out a small amount of water from each radiator - checking the pressure after each one. Continue to do so until your pressure gauge is back in the glorious green zone.
Other probable causes for this malfunction are Malfunctioning boiler parts
Defective components could include the boilers pressure release valve, diverter valve, or filling loop
How to check (pressure release valve): The PRV is a simple device to release water when the boiler is over pressurised. It’s a copper pipe usually seen protruding on your outside wall behind the boiler.
If this particular pipe is constantly dripping water - then your PRV should be indicative of some other systemic underlying issue, you should call an engineer to check or troubleshoot boiler. If you're getting no hot water from your boiler, this failing part could be the reason why.

What happens when it fills to 3?
Hi Sophia, To lower the water pressure on your boiler to the required tolerance levels. you can try one of the following methods:
1. Bleed the radiators: This involves opening the valves on your radiators to release any trapped air, which can help to reduce the pressure in the system.
2. Adjust the pressure relief valve: This valve is typically located on the boiler and can be adjusted to reduce the pressure in the system.
3. Drain some water from the system: You can use a hose to drain some water from the system, which will help to reduce the pressure. However, be sure to consult your boiler manual or gas engineer before attempting this method, as draining too much water can damage the system. Don’t forget to subscribe and share. Cheers.
Hiya mine flashes E125 whats that please? X
Hi Jahda, could be the maximum temperature threshold on your Boiler has been surpassed and as a result overheating and could be resolved by bleeding air from your radiators and reseting the Boiler. Let me know how you get on
@@UtechUreview thank you so much. All sorted. That was very helpful.
I turn all my heaters off but I've been advised to leave one on just for the heat to go somewhere. In summer time can I turn all the heaters off completely please? And how? Please help 🙏 me xxx
@@jahdalennie9908 Yes you can turn your heating off leaving them in frost protection mode in your thermostat and also your radiator to save on energy and functionality of radiators especially for protracted periods. See links below. ruclips.net/video/HnpRFl0Y9lY/видео.html

@@UtechUreview you are amazing 👏 ❤ many many thanks for your help.
Exact same issue but the left blue valve will not budge at all! :(
Hi Regan, have you tried turning the left blue valve in a different direction? And What is the model of your Boiler?
Mines the same, noticed they both have a screw in, is this normal?
I have the same problem 😢 any solution?
I haven’t got no blue valves only 2 black 1 yellow it’s a main boiler any help
Hi Zoe, I presume this is a different model of boiler ? and you have two black valves on the filling loop in front and 2 black valves at the back?
